Wall Faceplate Search!

Hi, not sure if this is the best forum but here goes....

I'm looking to do a load of wiring in the house. one of the points that it all emerges is by my TV. This tv station needs the following

2 x Sat connections (for Sky+)
1 x normal aerial point
1 x RJ45 connection
1 x phone socket
and possibly another aerial point for looping sky around the house but not decided on that one yet...

does such a faceplate exist?!? i thought i was getting lucky when i found this but it doesnt do everything I need it to...

any pointers greatly appreciated!

thanks

what about blank plates for satelite and drilling holes in them ?

better not having any joins up to dish and with Skys RF 2 output you could control it throughout the house if RF 2 goes up to a distribution amp with the 9 volts pass through for the magic eye to work

so TV signal and signal will loop through

roof aerial straight to sky box and then from Sky rf2 up to amp

hi, thanks for the reply... think you missed what i was asking though. I know how to setup the system, I was just wondering whether there is a faceplate that would have all the sockets on. thanks for the reply though!

Try MK Electrical, they do modular face plates that allow you to select which items will plug into a face plate. You'll get 4 items in a double gang box. They do Sat TV outlets, RJ45, BT secondarys & TV outlets. I used this method to build my own when I did our system. You might have to install 2 four gang plates, but they also do blanks.

You could also try Nexxia. If you can't find exactly what you need on their site, give 'em a call and they'll try to help out.

the bottom one in that link is what you want

you dont need to use the radio one if you dont want to

and make sure you use satellite quality throughout the house for your rf feed
