British Standard TV Aerial Wall Socket — Belling-Lee/IEC Coaxial Socket
The British R12432 standard TV aerial wall socket is constructed to suit terrestrial television signal feeds and is brought by the wallplate with professional measures i.e. 86×86 mm. The TV socket has Belling-Lee / IEC connector which is the standard connector used in almost all of the Freeview and digital terrestrial televisions in UK markets, Europe and other commonwealth countries. But this socket looks much neater than the plastic surface-mounted boxes which stick out from the wall. It is integrated with switches of R12 series and socket designs so that the beauty of the wall is maintained. The main feature of the socket is that coaxial connector remains set below and that the coaxial cable of the wall creates a flush surface with the wall. The TV socket is made of standard high-transparent PC in four colours i.e. White, Gold, Grey, and Black. There are two choices in middle plate i.e. solid plastic or steel-plastic combination. The socket has been certified according to IEC 60670-1:2015 and EN IEC 60670-1:2021/A11:2021 standard with a warranty of 1 year.
Our company is a direct supplier that provides cost-effective wholesale prices, custom branding of the PC panel in any color, and a 1-year warranty for the entire R12 series of our electronics line.
Belling-Lee / IEC Connector — The Universal TV Aerial Standard
The wall socket TV aerial is equipped with a standard Belling-Lee / IEC push-in connector available on each TV aerial lead throughout UK and Europe. Belling-Lee/IEC connector serves as an international standard when it comes to terrestrial television as it accommodates any male coaxial plug that is at every TV aerial cable, Freeview box, or digital TV. The connector is installed in an 86x86mm panel thus making the inlet cable flush with the wall surface and minimizing the risk that damage may occur at the connection. There is no need to establish electrical connections, as this is a passive signal passthrough socket thereby offering a wall termination point for the coaxial cable coming from the TV aerial or distributor amplifier. The manufacturer of the R12432 TV socket guarantees the compliance of the socket with IEC 60670-1:2015 and EN IEC 60670-1:2021/A11:2021 standards.
Matching the R12 Series — TV Socket in the Same Build Quality
This particular PC TV aerial socket has been included in the R12 Series due to being manufactured from the same high grade transparent PVC material as the R12 Series phones and the R12 Series sockets and also having the same dimensions of 86 mm X 86 mm as that of the other products of the Series. You can have the PC TV aerial socket installed in your living room or media room next to your R12 light switch and the R12 power socket. For the projects requiring both terrestrial and satellite TV installations, you can install the socket along with the satellite socket since both of them belong to the R12 Series line. The socket is available in the same color variations as the other products of the R12 Series.

TV Socket vs Satellite Socket: Choosing the Right Aerial Wall Socket for Your Project
A practical guide to specifying the correct TV or satellite wall socket for residential and commercial installations.
TV Aerial Socket vs Satellite Socket — Which One Do You Need?
The R12432 television aerial socket operates for aerial television use. The socket has a Belling-Lee/IEC push-in connector. The satellite socket, however, uses an F-type connector with a threaded screw. These two types of sockets are not interchangeable due to different frequencies, signal types, and connector designs. The TV socket can be used if you receive signals from the roof-mounted aerial tv. If you are instead going to receive signals from the satellite dish, you will have to use the satellite socket. If your room requires signals from both types, make sure to install both sockets next to each other as they have an R12 series 86×86 mm panel with the same finishes.
Why Belling-Lee / IEC Is the Universal TV Standard
The Belling-Lee connector has served as the standard connector used in TV aerials in the UK, Europe, and Commonwealth territories for many years. Every TV aerial cable, Freeview box, digital TV, etc. uses a Belling-Lee connector. The model R12432 offers a professional wall-mounted version of this universal standard; there are no adaptations needed and no compatibility problems, as the aerial can be connected directly to the outlet and to the TV.
Installation
The R12432 television socket fits a standard 86mm x 86mm (British standard) single-gang back box – same as R12 power sockets and light switches. A standard coaxial cable can be used. The coaxial cable must not exceed the bend radius at the rear side of the socket. A minimum depth of 35mm is recommended for installations where the coaxial cable enters from behind the socket. Electric connections are not required because the socket is a passive signal passthrough socket.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TV aerial wall socket?
A wall socket for a television aerial enables the installation of the wall plate in order to connect terrestrial broadcasts. The British standard socket for television aerial is a R12432 one that includes a push-in Belling-Lee/IEC connector which helps link a coaxial cable coming from a rooftop or attic aerial to the wall plate.
What is the difference between a TV socket and a satellite socket?
The socket for TV aerial (R12432) is equipped with Belling-Lee / IEC connector and serves terrestrial signals from aerial roof / Freeview. The satellite socket uses F-type connector and can cater satellite signals received from satellite dish / Sky and Freesat.
One can install both sockets if required as the types of signals and connectors are not the same.
Does this TV socket require an electrical connection?
No, the R12432 is a passive use signal outlet and has no need for installation or electrical connection. Instead, it serves as a termination point for the coaxial cable which stems from the cable television aerial or distribution amplifier. The size of the panel of the product is 86mm x 86mm which allows it to fit into a standard UK wall box along with many other electrical accessories that belong to the series.
What colors is this British standard TV socket available in?
There are four colors of the Polymer (PC) panel used for the R12 series TV aerial socket: White (a common color used in homes and commercial buildings), Gold (for luxurious premises), Gray (for spacious apartments and offices), and Black (to create contrast in dark interiors, especially in high-end commercial spaces). All types of sockets are made of the same PC material that guarantees the 12-month warranty in case the product has been manufactured at the factory.
