RJ45/Satellite/TV faceplate

Mar 18, 2011 10 Replies

Anyone know if it's possible to get a single-socket sized faceplate which has these 3 connectors available ? Googling for a few minutes didn't throw anything immediate up.



I want to run a network cable into my existing aerial/satellite faceplate, to keep things tidy.


Look at Videk - They supply industry and have modular faceplates, you may need a 4 way with a blanking plate

I have not seen any that can go in a single faceplate. Double versions are easy either with ready made plates like:

with euromod modules. But most dual TV or TV + Sat modules are two mods wide, and hence don't leave space for the RJ45

You might get something here:

Don't think I've seen a way to make that up using modules.

You can use modular systems to snap what you want into, but it would need to be a double size.

Here at Lowe Towers, I use an arrangement of 'twin single' faceplates, with a special twin back-box which allows for two singles, not a double. One side has a normal dual-sat / UHF / VHF plate, and the other has a dual cat6 RJ45. It's quite tidy.

Buy a two moduule RJ45 faceplate, an rj45 module, an equally wide blank plate, and two F barrels (couplers) with nuts.

Mount the F barrels on the blank face plate, securing with the nuts.

I have done this though I just used one F barrel.

You may want to add two F elbows depending on how the cable enters the wall box.

sell the F barrels, nuts, plugs and elbows that you will need.

Which will probably need a double size plate...

It might be worth a dig through CPC's site. They have quite range of faceplates with allsorts of connectors on them. You could use 2 x F-type (satellite connector) and 1 RJ45. F-type out performs Belling Lee (normal TV aerial connector).

It's lovely - but it rather depends on readers using a fixed pitch font.

And right chracter set. Your quoted one is totally different to the one in the orginal, which does look like anything "lovely" to me. B-)

Didn't look lovely when I first read it - I was idle for a moment so I pasted it into Notepad.
