Product Information

Full details

This Trendi Switch 2-gang socket is ideal for homeowners and renovators looking to integrate modern connectivity solutions with a sleek aesthetic. Its primary benefit is combining a TV coaxial and a Cat 3 telephone socket into a single, screwless unit, simplifying installation and reducing visual clutter. A minor caveat is that it's a slave socket, requiring a compatible back box and wiring.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of telephone socket is this?

This is a Cat 3 telephone slave socket, compatible with standard UK telephone wiring.

Do I need special tools to install this?

No, the screwless design aims for easy installation. Basic screwdrivers might be needed for the initial wiring connection and securing the back box if necessary.

Is this socket powered?

This is a passive socket for signal transmission; it does not require a separate power supply. It uses the existing wiring from your mains.

Can I replace my existing double socket with this?

Yes, provided your existing double socket has the necessary TV coaxial and telephone wiring behind it.

How do I clean the copper finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish.

What is the warranty period?

Trendi Switch offers a 5-year guarantee on this product.

What does 'slave socket' mean?

A slave socket means it receives a signal from a master connection (like an aerial splitter or a main telephone line connection point) and does not generate its own power or signal.

Troubleshooting

No TV signal

Check the coaxial cable connection to the socket and the main aerial/satellite feed. Ensure the cable is not damaged.

No telephone line connectivity

Verify the telephone cable is correctly connected to the Cat 3 socket. Test the line with a different telephone device.

Faceplate not fitting securely

Ensure the back frame is correctly seated and aligned with the back box. Check for any obstructions. The faceplate should click firmly into place.

Socket feels loose

Confirm that the socket module is securely fixed to the back box. If the back box itself is loose, it may need to be re-secured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Streamlines wall plates by combining two common sockets.
  • Modern screwless design offers a clean and premium look.
  • Durable, fireproof ABS plastic construction ensures safety.
  • Fade-resistant copper finish maintains its appearance.
  • Simple click-on installation reduces fitting time.

Cons

  • Requires existing compatible back boxes and wiring.
  • Specific to TV coaxial and Cat 3 telephone, not other data types.
  • May require precise alignment during installation for a flush look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure power is switched off at the mains before installation.
  2. Remove the old faceplate.
  3. Connect the existing TV coaxial cable to the corresponding TV socket.
  4. Connect the existing telephone cable to the corresponding telephone socket.
  5. Align the screwless back frame with the existing back box and secure if necessary (some models clip directly).
  6. Push the new screwless faceplate onto the module until it clicks into place.
  7. Restore power at the mains.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard UK back boxes.
  • Requires existing wiring for both TV coaxial and Cat 3 telephone connections.
  • This is a slave socket; it requires a live, neutral, and earth connection from the wiring system.

Care:

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  • The screwless plate can be easily removed for thorough cleaning if needed.
