Belling-Lee / IEC Connector — The Universal TV Aerial Standard
This coaxial wall socket has the usual Belling-Lee/IEC plug that is present on all TV aerial cables used across Europe and the UK. It is fitted with the male coaxial plug used in all TV aerial cables, free view boxes and digital receivers. The wall socket has the plug recessed in to the 86 × 86 mm panel to maintain flush entry with wall and limit the damage chances. The iron middle plate makes the wall socket robust while eliminating the problem of the plug’s wear associated with plastic wall sockets. There is no connection required as the socket passes the signal passively. The socket is certified according to IEC 60670-1:2015 and EN IEC 60670-1:2021/A11:2021 standards.
TV Aerial Socket — R30 Series Coaxial Wall Socket, Iron Middle Plate, 86×86mm PC Panel
This is a wall socket made to the R30432 British standard which is meant to properly connect the terrestrial television signal into the professional 86x86mm R30 series wall box for video and audio management. This TV socket uses the classic Belling-Lee/IEC coaxial connector style which is the standard type of connection used by the Freeview service and similar types of television systems. The R30432 instead uses an iron back panel which allows the wall socket to have a design that is aligned with the R30 series electrical switches instead of a protruding plastic surface mount. In terms of technical specifications, this wall socket uses the R30 series durable backing.

Matching the R30 Series — TV Aerial Socket in the Same Classic Aesthetic
The R30 series of white TV sockets has the same square dimension of 86×86mm as other types of sockets within the environment. The R30 series of white TV socket is also made of high-transparency PC material, while the middle plate is made of iron. You can, therefore, find an R30432 TV socket in your living room next to other types of R30 sockets. In case you need both the satellite and TV socket, you can use the two in one multi-gang cabinet box as both sockets use the same material, type of finish, and middle iron plate in their construction.

TV Socket vs Satellite Socket: Choosing the Right R30 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 R30432 aerial socket is used for terrestrial television: Freeview, digital terrestrial television, and conventional aerial signals. It is fitted with a Belling-Lee/IEC push-fit connector. The satellite socket has an F type threaded connector used for satellite signals from a dish: Sky and Freesat. These sockets cannot be used in place of one another because the signal types, frequencies, and connector types are very different. In spaces where the need for both types of these sockets arises, one can have both sockets installed side by side because both types of sockets are in the R30 series and this installation will look visually appealing; being of the same 86(×86) panel design and residense at one installation.
Why Choose the R30 Series TV Socket?
Boasting a traditional British format measuring 86×86mm square panel, the R30 Series TV socket is produced by making use of premium imported clear PC material. The iron core plate provides greater structural strength than the purely plastic ones which is crucial in places with a lot of connecting/disconnecting of cables. The product is offered in four colors White, Gold, Grey, and Black that are compatible with any R30 switch or socket.
Installation
The R30432 is compatible with an ordinary British 86×86mm back box. Use conventional coaxial cable having a Belling-Lee connector at the back. Make sure that the cable bend radius at the rear of the socket is not broken, use a deep back box where the coaxial cable comes in from the back. There is no electricity to be connected because it is a passive signal passthrough socket.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TV aerial wall socket?
A TV aerial wall socket works as a professionally mounted connection all set to receive signals from terrestrial televisions, which include Freeview and any other types of digital terrestrial TV or normal aerial distribution. The R30432 is a British standard socket that makes use of the Belling–Lee/IEC push-in connector. Its main function is to connect the sofa aerial coming from a roof top or loft aerial to the wall-mounted plate measuring 86×86mm and belonging to R30 series of mounting plates.
What is the difference between a TV socket and a satellite socket?
A TV aerial socket (R30432) is fitted with a Belling‑Lee / IEC connector providing compatibility for terrestrial TV signals that come from a rooftop aerial – Freeview and digital terrestrial signals. In contrast, a satellite socket utilizes an F type screw-on connection that enables the reception of satellite TV signals coming from a satellite dish – Sky and Freesat. The two should not be used interchangeably and one must consider that not only are the two types of signals different, but the connectors as well. If both sockets are required in a given room, the two can be installed next to each other in an R30 series finish.
Does this TV socket require an electrical connection?
The R30432 is not an active electrical socket, but rather a passive connection socket that does not need to be connected to any mains electricity supply. Its function is to serve as a suitable wall-mounted connection for the coaxial cable from a TV aerial or distribution amplifier. The 86mm by 86mm panel fits into a conventional British back box and is compatible with the R30 series of other electrical accessories.
What colors is this British standard TV aerial socket available in?
The R30 television socket comes in four colors of the PC panel: White (standard household color), Gold (warm luxury coating for top-of-the-line interiors), Gray (subtle modern color suitable for new apartments and media rooms), and Black (strong contrast color meant for home theatres and high-end commercial premises). All the varieties use the same imported PC material with high light transmission and strength, and enjoy a one-year warranty.
