Re: RPP Easy-clip faceplates/B&Q rant

["tefxp" <ukha_d@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks Martin,

I specifically need an RPP one though - I have shed loads of their 2
gang face plates around the place housing cat5 or coax sockets.
I made a custom 2 gang faceplate to feed composite & svideo from
node 0 to my TV and audio from tv/xbox etc back to the amp.
I now want to ditch them and replace with 4 CAT5 sockets (as I only
put 2 near the tv) so I can use KAT5 modules instead, so I want a
faceplate to match the others, into which I can clip some of the
spare RJ45 modules I have.

I only need one, but RPP only sell them in packs of 10.
B&Q used to do exactly the ones I need.......

If I was going for a different make, the only ones I like are
Wandsworth, but they are significantly more expensive.

cheers,


Tony
