RE: Electrical Fittings



You could go for modular euro faceplates using the plates from the
same
supplier as your standard electrical accessories and then source the
module=
s
from ACA Apex or Aldous Systems so that the modules all match. I would also
recommend looking at Focus SB as there ranges are good value and they also
do custom plates at reasonable prices if you prefer a solid plate rather
than clip in modules.

Hi

I'm about to fit all of the CAT5 outlets around the house, and the=20
elctrician's doing the mains sockets and I want to try to get=20
everything to match in, but having problems...

The data side is either twin RJ45 on a single plate, or twin=20
RJ45+coax on a double so will probably require a modular approach,=20
and the power is fairly straightforward doubles. All the electrical=20
ranges (MK, BG, GET etc) offer suitable parts, but their modular=20
ranges are c.=A320 for a made up plate, whereas the data places=20
(Blackbox etc) will do a made up data plate for c.=A34. Given that I=20
have about 30 to do that's a huge difference.

Does anyone have any experience of getting things from different=20
suppliers to match up in a co-ordinating way (white is not always=20
white, square edges are not always square)?

Or, is it possible to get say an MK one cheaper from elsewhere?

Thanks

Pete
