FAQs

What is the main purpose of this plate?

The primary purpose is to seal cable entry points on external walls, preventing water damage and hiding unsightly holes or damaged brickwork around the cables.

What type of adhesive should I use?

You should use a suitable outdoor bonding adhesive designed for exterior use and compatible with masonry. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer's specific instructions for application and curing.

Can this plate accommodate multiple cables?

Yes, it features a 30mm cavity depth and a 25mm cable exit designed to accommodate multiple cables such as power, coaxial, and Ethernet through a single cover.

What are the dimensions of the plate?

The cover plate dimensions are approximately 110 x 110 x 33mm.

Is this plate suitable for all types of external walls?

It is designed for brick, masonry, and similar external wall surfaces. Ensure the surface is relatively smooth and clean for effective adhesion.

Does the plate come with adhesive?

No, the plate is designed for adhesive fixing and requires a suitable outdoor bonding adhesive to be purchased separately.

What kind of installations is this plate best suited for?

It is ideal for satellite dish feeds, Virgin Media connections, outdoor CCTV camera cables, external lighting wiring, garden office networking, and any external cable entry or exit point.

Troubleshooting

Plate not adhering securely

Ensure the wall surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Use a high-quality outdoor bonding adhesive suitable for your wall type and allow adequate curing time in dry conditions.

Water ingress observed after installation

The seal may be compromised. Inspect the edges of the plate and the area around the cable exit for gaps. Re-apply adhesive to ensure a watertight seal, or consider a more robust sealing method if the surface is uneven.

Difficulty routing cables

Ensure cables are fed through the 25mm exit point before fully adhering the plate. If multiple thick cables are being used, ensure they are bundled neatly to fit through the cavity and exit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents water ingress into external walls.
  • Improves the aesthetic appearance by covering damaged brickwork.
  • Accommodates multiple cable types through a single plate.
  • Provides a durable and weatherproof seal.
  • Simplifies cable management for external installations.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of outdoor bonding adhesive.
  • Fixing is dependent on the quality of the adhesive and surface preparation.
  • May not be suitable for extremely rough or uneven wall surfaces without additional preparation.
  • The cavity depth might be limiting for very thick bundles of cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the external wall surface around the cable entry point is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose material.
  2. Apply a suitable, weather-resistant outdoor bonding adhesive to the back of the plate or directly to the wall surface around the cable hole, following the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
  3. Carefully position the plate over the cable entry point, ensuring cables pass through the designated exit.
  4. Press firmly to secure the plate against the wall and allow the adhesive to cure fully according to its specifications before exposing it to weather.

Compatibility:

This plate is compatible with various cable types, including:

  • Coaxial leads (satellite, aerial, CCTV)
  • Ethernet networking cables
  • Fibre optic cables
  • Power cables for external devices
  • Other low-voltage wiring

Care:

The plate requires minimal care. Periodically check that the adhesive seal remains intact and free from damage. Clean with a damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals.
