British Standard Satellite Wall Socket — An F-Type Connection interface for Sky & Freesat devices made out of aluminum, glass, or PC
The DN72165 is a British standard satellite wall socket that terminates satellite TV signal feeds using a professional 88×86 mm wall plate. This F-type satellite socket uses the well-known threaded screw-on connector technique to serve satellite signal distribution in residential and business settings. The DN72165 works with Standard Definitions satellite TV providers like Sky, Sky Q, Freesat, and many more European satellite TV systems. This F-type barrel connector is placed inside the wall, hence, the cable entry surface remains even with the rest of the wall and protects the connection against unwanted impact. The device comes in three types of panel materials: PC, tempered glass, or brushed aluminum.
As a factory-direct satellite socket supplier, we provide competitive product prices to the wholesale market and the facility for OEM branding on any type of panel material as well as offer 12 years of warranty for all sockets in the DN72 series.
F-Type Connector — The Professional Standard for Satellite Signals
This satellite socket is utilized with an F-type connector which is commonly used for any satellite installation. This connector gives an advantageous and reliable connection that will not come loose when connections are changed or furniture is moved. It also allows the satellite signals to stay intact avoiding interference because the full 360-degree shield contact stops any electromagnetic interference from joining at the connection — this aspect is particularly significant for working with the satellite signals which use higher frequencies and experience higher interference than the terrestrial TV. Being compatible with Sky, Sky Q, Freesat, and all general European satellite distributions, this connector is placed in an 88×86-mm panel and ensures that the connecting cable ends are finger tight against the wall. The connection is passive, so there is no electrical connection made.
Matching the DN72 Series — Satellite Socket in PC, Glass, or Aluminum
This socket is of the same line as DN72 series which means it has similar 88x86mm slender profile and three beautiful finishes as in DN72 Light switch, socket outlets, TV aerial sockets, Tel. sockets, data sockets, USB charging sockets etc. DN72165 could be used alongside with TV aerial socket in the same multi-gang box. DN72165 has 88x86mm size which is standard for British boxes. Container stuff with reasonable mix of PC, glass and aluminum lines as standard 20GP MOQ applies. Available in White, Gold, Gray, Black.

Satellite Socket vs TV Aerial Socket: Choosing the Right F-Type Wall Socket for Sky & Satellite TV
A practical guide to specifying satellite TV wall sockets for residential and commercial installations.
Satellite Socket vs TV Aerial Socket — Which One for Which Room?
DN72165 is a satellite outlet — the type meant for Sky, Sky Q, Freesat, and satellite distribution networks. The connector type used by the DN72165 is F‑type, which is a threaded screw connector. A TV aerial outlet is for terrestrial TV services like Freeview and digital terrestrial television. The type of connector used is Belling‑Lee / IEC, which is different from F‑type. Since the types of signals used by these two devices are fundamentally different, they cannot be interchanged and used. Where there is a need for both satellite and terrestrial television in a room, it is best to use both a satellite outlet and a TV aerial outlet, which means two holes in a multi‑gang back box; the satellite and TV aerial outlets share the same dimensions and finishes.
Why F-Type Is the Professional Standard for Satellite
Satellite signals function at frequencies that are substantially higher than that of terrestrial television signals. A satellite receiver with an F-type input like the DN72165 has the necessary threaded screw-on connector and 360-degree shielding that is essential for the operation of satellite signals. The standard television aerial socket does not have such capacities as it use only partial shielding. In addition, the friction fit of this connection can become loose over time, making satellite signals much less effective. If you are using Sky Q box, Freesat receiver or satellite distribution system, it is advisable to use the F-type input socket.
Panel Material Selection — PC, Glass, or Aluminum?
PC panel: Economical and long-lasting — the preferred option for residential and commercial applications. Tempered glass panel: High-quality shining surface with fingerprint resistance — the preferable option for premium home and hotel projects. Brushed aluminum panel: Amazing industrial look — scratch-resistant and suitable for modern offices and shops. All three share the same 88×86 mm dimensions, connector type and warranty period.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an F-type satellite wall socket?
An F-type satellite wall socket is equipped with a threaded F-type connector and serves as a wall-mounted point for connecting satellite television. The DN72165 types of this socket according to British specifications, which is used to connect the coaxial cable from the satellite to a flush wall plate with the size of 88×86 mm. The sock puppet is compatible with Sky, Sky Q, Freesat, and almost all of the European Satellite television stations.
What is the difference between a satellite socket and a TV aerial socket?
A satellite socket (DN72165) employs a threaded F-type connector and is tailored for satellite signals from a dish — Sky and Freesat. A terrestrial TV socket employs a coaxial or Belling-Lee (also known as IEC) connector, which is designed for receiving signals from a rooftop aerial. These two connection types are different from each other, and thus not interchangeable.
Does this satellite socket require an electrical connection?
No, the DN72165 is a passive signal passthrough outlet that does not require a connection to the mains electricity supply. It simply provides a professional termination point on the wall for the coaxial electrical cable coming from your dish or distribution system. The 88×86 mm panel can fit into a British back box, along with other DN72 electrical accessories.
What panel materials is this satellite wall socket available in?
The DN72165 is offered in three high-grade panel finishes: PC (a strong polycarbonate that proves to be a cost-efficient option for numerous units), tempered glass (a shiny non-smudge option which fits as a part of the luxury interior style), and brushed aluminum (which has a particular industrial appearance that is scratch resistant, thus making it appropriate for contemporary business interiors). However, all of them share the same dimensions of 88×86mm, F-type satellite connection, and 12-year warranty.
