Product Information

Full details

This Deta Slimline Decor wall faceplate is designed for homeowners and installers seeking a streamlined wiring solution for their entertainment systems. Its key benefit is integrating both TV and radio signals into a single coaxial cable feed, reducing clutter and installation complexity. A potential caveat is that it requires a pre-existing single coaxial feed distributing both signal types. The faceplate features a premium chrome finish with white inserts for a modern aesthetic, offering separate male RF and female DAB/FM outputs via an integrated diplexer. It is built to BS EN 50083-2 and BS 5733 standards and includes a cable clamp for secure connections.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this faceplate be used for satellite TV (Sky/Freesat)?

No, this faceplate is designed specifically for terrestrial TV (Freeview) RF signals and DAB/FM radio signals. It is not compatible with satellite LNB signals.

Does this faceplate require separate cables for TV and radio?

No, the key feature of this faceplate is that it uses a single coaxial cable input which then splits the TV RF and DAB/FM signals internally to separate outputs.

What type of coaxial connector does it use?

It uses standard coaxial connectors. The TV output is a male RF connector, and the DAB/FM output is a female RF connector. The input is a female coaxial socket.

Is installation difficult for a DIYer?

If you are comfortable with basic electrical wiring and have a single coaxial feed readily available, installation is straightforward. However, always ensure power is disconnected before working and consult a professional if unsure.

What are the dimensions of the faceplate?

It is a 1-gang (single width) faceplate with a slimline profile, designed to fit standard single-gang electrical boxes.

What standards does this product comply with?

The product conforms to BS EN 50083-2 and BS 5733 standards, ensuring safety and performance.

Troubleshooting

No TV signal, but DAB/FM radio works

Verify the coaxial cable connection to the male RF output port. Ensure the cable feeding the faceplate is correctly distributing the TV signal. Check the TV's tuning settings.

No DAB/FM radio signal, but TV works

Check the coaxial cable connection to the female RF output port. Confirm that the incoming coaxial feed is indeed carrying a DAB/FM signal. Re-tune radio on your receiver.

Both TV and DAB/FM signals are weak or intermittent

Ensure the main incoming coaxial cable is securely connected and the cable clamp is holding it firmly. Inspect the cable for damage. The issue might be with the original aerial or distribution system before it reaches this faceplate.

Faceplate does not fit flush

Ensure you are using a standard single-gang electrical wall box. Check for obstructions behind the wall box that might prevent a flush fit. Ensure no wires are trapped between the faceplate and the wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure power is switched off at the mains before installation.
  2. Connect the incoming coaxial cable (carrying both TV RF and DAB/FM signals) to the single input port on the back of the faceplate.
  3. Connect the outgoing TV RF cable to the male RF output port.
  4. Connect the outgoing DAB/FM radio cable to the female RF output port.
  5. Secure the coaxial cable using the built-in cable clamp.
  6. Mount the faceplate to the wall box using appropriate screws (usually supplied with the faceplate or existing wall box).
  7. Restore power at the mains.

Compatibility:

  • This faceplate is compatible with standard coaxial cables used for terrestrial TV (Freeview) and FM/DAB radio aerial signals.
  • It requires a wiring system that distributes combined TV RF and DAB/FM signals through a single coaxial cable to the point of installation.
  • The output ports are standard male RF (coaxial plug) for TV and female RF (coaxial socket) for radio.

Care:

  • Clean the faceplate surface with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the ports or internal electronics. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
