A coaxial socket is an electrical connector designed for the termination of coaxial cables, typically used for television aerials or satellite dishes to connect to a receiver.
Yes, according to BS7671 415.2.1, this socket must be earthed.
This socket is designed for traditional aerials (TV aerial). For satellite connections, a different type of satellite socket would be required.
Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or chemicals that could damage the plated and aged finish.
The 'screwless' design means that the faceplate of the socket does not have visible screws. It typically clips into place over a mounting frame, providing a cleaner, more modern appearance.
You can replace an existing coaxial aerial socket with this one, provided the wiring and back box are compatible. Professional installation is recommended.
The socket dimensions are 86mm x 86mm x 4.5mm.
Verify the coaxial cable is securely connected to the socket and the aerial source. Ensure the connection is correctly wired and the system is earthed. Consult a qualified electrician if issues persist.
Ensure the screwless clips are properly engaged with the back box. If the back box itself is loose in the wall, it may require re-securing.
Inspect the finish for any manufacturing defects. For minor blemishes from handling, gentle cleaning with a soft damp cloth may suffice. For significant damage, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
Setup: Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician. The socket requires a connection to a coaxial aerial cable and must be earthed according to BS7671 standards (section 415.2.1).
Compatibility: This is a standard coaxial aerial socket compatible with typical TV aerial coaxial plugs. Ensure your existing wiring is suitable for a surface-mount or in-wall installation as required.
Care: To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the aged brass finish. The screwless design means the faceplate can be gently removed for thorough cleaning if necessary, but re-installation should be careful to avoid scratching.
