British Standard Satellite Wall Socket — Glass F-Type Satellite Socket
The DN71165 is a wall socket for satellite signals following the British standard, which allows connecting to the professionally made wall panel measuring 88 x 86 mm. This satellite socket of the F type is characterized by the presence of a standard threaded connector; therefore, this is the best and most reliable option for satellite signals transmission at home and in offices. Unlike plastic surface-mounted boxes that stick out of the wall, the glass satellite socket fits efficiently into the light switches and power sockets series DN71. The design of this socket implies the appearance of the barrel F type connector that is in the old part of the board, which makes the inlet of cables perfectly seamless. This device can be produced with three surface finishes to meet the interest of every customer.
As a manufacturer selling direct to the consumer, we can guarantee competitive prices and even offer OEM branding on glass, aluminum, or PC panels, in addition to providing a wonderful warranty for your DN71 series products: a generous 12-year warranty.
F-Type Connector — The Professional Standard for Satellite Signals
The F-type coaxial connector is the standard option in the industry for any satellite equipment installation. Instead of a weak connection, this screw-type connector guarantees that the connection can withstand vibration and will not loosen when moving furniture or cables. Its special 360-degree shield prevents any interference. It is suitable for Sky, Sky Q, Freesat, and most similar European systems. The 88x86mm panel has the connector recessed inside.
Matching the DN71 Series — Glass Satellite Socket in the Same Slim Profile
This satellite socket of white color is part of series DN71. Although it has the same dimensions of 88×86mm while being flat as power sockets and other kinds of sockets of series DN71, including USB and communication sockets. You can also put the socket DN71165 with the light and power switches of series DN71 in the rooms, where all devices look similar to each other in terms of dimensions, materials, and colors. If your project requires both terrestrial TV and satellite TV connections, then you should use the DN71165 socket beside the TV aerial socket, which is also part of the DN71 series.

Satellite Socket vs TV Socket: Choosing the Right Wall Socket for Your Project
A practical guide to specifying the correct satellite or TV aerial wall socket for residential and commercial installations.
Satellite Socket vs TV Aerial Socket — Which One Do You Need?
The DN71165 socket with F-connectors is specifically designed for receiving signals both from satellites (including Sky, Sky Q and Freesat) and from satellite distribution systems. The socket known as the TV aerial socket with Belling-Lee or IEC connector is dedicated to terrestrial TV signals (e.g., Freeview) and digital aerials. The key difference is that, whilst the satellite signals can be transmitted in higher frequencies and need a F-connector to be properly shielded, the signals coming from the dish antenna can be received. If any of the signals come from a satellite dish, one needs to have the DN71165 socket at hand. For those cases when the DN71165 socket is to be fitted together with the TV aerial socket, the size of both sockets is 88×86 mm and there are four color modifications for this type of sockets.
Why F-Type Threaded Connection Matters for Satellite
Unlike ground-based television, satellite signals have a much higher frequency. The DN71165 uses a screwing F-type connector, which provides a complete 360-degree shielding from interference. Regular push-in television aerial connectors do not offer such shielding and are not designed use with satellite signals. In addition, the threaded connection helps avoid pulling out the plug during normal usage and when the TV set is moved or the cables in the back are rearranged.
Glass vs Aluminum vs PC — Which Panel Material for Your Media Room?
Tempered glass: High-end finish for luxury living rooms and specialized home theater rooms – glossy and smudge-free finish. Brush aluminum: Industrial-grade durability for commercial AV installations as well as for modern interiors. PC: Economically viable volume option for residential complexes. All three options share the same F-type connector and are provided with a 12-year warranty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an F-type satellite wall socket?
F-type satellite wall sockets offer a professional way of receiving satellite signals. The DN71165 is a type of satellite socket compliant with all the British standards with an F-type threaded connector which is ideal to use with different providers such as Sky, Sky Q, Freesat, etc. It is installed on a wall with dimensions of 88 mm times 86 mm.
Why does satellite need an F-type connector instead of a standard TV aerial socket?
Satellite signals work on a higher frequency than terrestrial television signals, therefore making them more vulnerable to degradation due to faulty connections and interference from other devices. The DN71165 has an F-type connection, which means it fits securely and snugly with the help of threaded screws and is completely shielded from electromagnetic interference. It should be noted that standard push-in sockets do not provide the same level of safety and reliability for satellites.
Does this satellite socket require an electrical connection?
No, the DN71165 is a passive signal passthrough outlet — there is no requirement of a mains electrical connection. The DN71165 only serves as a professional wall mounted termination point for the coaxial cable coming from your satellite dish or distribution system. The panel of 88 x 86mm fits a standard British back box coupled with other DN71 series electrical accessories.
What panel materials are available for this glass satellite socket?
The DN71165 wall socket for the satellite comes with three alternatives for the front panel: tempered glass (glossy and blemish-free surface, especially for prestigious households and home theatres), brushed aluminum (giving the metallic industrial style for commercial audio-visual equipment), and Polycarbonate (offering durable yet cost efficient solution particularly for mass housing). All three variants utilize the same F-type connector, have similar dimensions of 88×86сm, and have 12 years of warranty.
