This Trendi Switch 1-gang Cat 3 telephone slave socket in Champagne Gold is designed for homeowners seeking a modern, easy-to-install update to their existing phone outlets. Its primary benefit is a sleek, screwless finish that complements contemporary decor, offering a clean look with minimal effort. A key consideration is that it functions as a slave socket, meaning it requires an existing telephone line connection and is not a standalone telephone jack.

No, this is a slave socket designed to extend an existing telephone line. It requires a connection from a primary socket or termination point.
It supports standard Cat 3 telephone cables used for traditional analogue phone lines.
For simple replacement of an existing socket, no electrician is strictly required if you are comfortable with basic DIY. However, always ensure the power is off at the mains before starting, and if you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician.
The socket faceplate dimensions are 88 x 88mm. It requires a back box with a minimum depth of 16mm.
The product is made with a high-quality plastic face plate designed to resist fading, ensuring it maintains its appearance.
This socket is designed for voice (telephone) lines. While some older ADSL broadband connections might have used similar ports, it is not guaranteed to be compatible with modern broadband setups and is intended primarily for voice communication.
Ensure the telephone line wires are correctly connected to the terminals on the socket module. Double-check that the power to the circuit was off during installation and has been restored. Verify that the connected device is functional and the main telephone line is active.
Check that the module is correctly seated and screwed into the back box. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the faceplate from aligning properly. The back box depth should be at least 16mm.
Verify that the module is securely screwed into the back box. Ensure the back box itself is firmly installed in the wall.
Setup:
This socket is designed for straightforward replacement of existing telephone sockets. Ensure the power to the relevant circuit is switched off at the mains before beginning.
Compatibility:
Care:
To clean the socket, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. The high-quality plastic faceplate is designed to resist fading, but regular dusting will help maintain its appearance.
