Full details
The SLx Coaxial Outlet is an ideal solution for homeowners and installers looking to create a clean, flush-mounted connection point for television signals. It is designed for those who prioritize a professional, tidy aesthetic in their home entertainment setup and requires a minimum mounting depth of 16mm. While it provides a secure and reliable connection, users should ensure their existing wall boxes meet the depth requirements to avoid installation difficulties.

FAQs
Does this outlet support satellite signals?
Yes, this coaxial outlet is capable of carrying satellite signals, provided your cabling and connectors are rated for the required frequencies.
Can I install this in a shallow 10mm wall box?
No, the SLx Coaxial Outlet requires a minimum depth of 16mm. A 10mm box will not provide enough clearance for the termination and cable bend.
Is this plate paintable?
While the plastic faceplate can be painted, it is generally recommended to leave it as-is for a durable, factory-finish look.
Does it come with mounting screws?
Yes, the outlet includes standard mounting screws for installation into a compatible back box.
Is this a screened outlet?
The unit is designed for reliable signal integrity; however, always ensure you use high-quality, screened coaxial cable for the best results against interference.
Troubleshooting
Poor TV signal quality
Check that the inner core of the coaxial cable is fully inserted and that there are no stray strands of braiding touching the center conductor.
Faceplate does not sit flush against the wall
Verify that your back box is at least 16mm deep and that excess cable is tucked neatly behind the unit to prevent obstruction.
Loose connection at the socket
Ensure the coaxial plug is fully pushed into the outlet and inspect the plug itself for signs of damage or wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires basic cable stripping and termination skills. First, ensure the power to any nearby electrical circuits is isolated if you are working near mains cabling. Strip back the outer insulation of your coaxial cable, fold back the braiding, and secure the inner conductor into the SLx terminal. Ensure the faceplate is screwed securely into a pattress or knockout box that is at least 16mm deep. For maintenance, simply wipe the faceplate with a dry, lint-free cloth to keep it clean. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as they can cause the plastic finish to discolor over time.
