Chroming TV Aerial Socket — Belling-Lee Coaxial Wall Socket
TDDS5 is a chromed wall socket for TV antenna that is used to terminate aerial signals onto a wall flushing plate of 81.5×120mm. The socket uses Belling-Lee or IEC push-in connection facility for the coaxial type which is universal for Freeview and DTV antennae. Unlike plastic surface mounting boxes that come out of the wall, this chroming TV socket goes with existing illuminator switch design in the series T-D for seamless match.Made of a metallic frame for stability. Best quality clear polycarbonate imported front panel; with certificate including IEC60670-1:2015.

Belling-Lee / IEC Connector — The Universal TV Aerial Standard
This chromed Belling-Lee socket utilizes the commonplace push-in coax connector of the type present in every UK and European TV aerial lead. The Belling-Lee / IEC connector is universally used for terrestrial television and receives the standard male coaxial connector of the universal type used in all TV aerial cables, Freeview boxes, and digital TV receivers. The socket is placed inside the 81.5×120 mm plate, thus allowing the cable entry to remain on the same level as the wall and eliminating the risk of damages to the connection. The middle plate made of steel gives additional toughness during the cable connections. There is no electric connection here as this passive socket performer allows for a proper termination of the coax cable connected to a distribution amplifier or TV aerial. The product is certified to IEC 60670-1:2015 and EN IEC 60670-1:2021/A11:2021.
Matching the T-D Series — TV Aerial Socket in the Same Chroming Finish
The white TV socket made from PC with chromed details belongs to the T-D series. It possesses the same dimensions of 81.5×120mm and is made from high transparent PC material identical to that used in the T-D series light switches, power sockets, and USB chargers. The T-D series sockets are available in seven chroming colours. Thus, in a living room or a media room, one can easily place the TDDS5 TV socket right next to the T-D light switches and sockets, since all the wall plates have the same profile. The TV socket can be placed together with the satellite socket in the same frame for projects requiring both satellite and TV connections, and both the sockets will have the same finish.

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 TDDS5 TV aerial socket accepts terrestrial television signals (Freeview, digital terrestrial TV, and normal aerial signals). This socket features a Belling-Lee/IEC push-in connector. The satellite socket on the other hand has an F-type connector for signals received from a dish (Sky and Freesat). The two sockets cannot be used interchangeably as the signals, frequencies, and connector designs vastly differ. Whenever you receive signals from a rooftop aerial, you should use a TV socket. However, when the signals are received from a dish, a satellite socket is necessary. In cases when both types of signals need to be received, both sockets need to be installed side by side since they use the same panel format (T-D Series 81.5×120 mm) and chroming finishes.
Finish Selection — Which Chroming Color for Your Media Room?
White + Chroming Gold: The classic warm accent has a simple white panel that has been bordered with gold metallic. The black + Chroming Gun has a modern appeal that uses a dark colored panel along with the gunmetal accent, giving it a perfect look for home theater rooms, while gray + Chroming Silver has a neutral colored base along with subtle silver. Finally, gold + Chroming Gold is a high-end premium style that uses a warm colored gold panel frame and chromed frame. Options for pure white, gray, and black variants are also available without chroming at all to suit minimalist interiors.
Installation
The TDDS5 TV socket is compatible with a standard back box measuring 81.5×120mm — the same as that used for T‑D series power sockets and light switches. A standard coaxial cable with a Belling‑Lee connector must be used to attach to the back of the TV socket. Make sure that the cable bend radius is not exceeded — and a deep back box must be used in cases where the coaxial cable enters from the rear. There is no electrical installation required as this is merely an incoming signal connection socket.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TV aerial wall socket?
The design of a television aerial wall socket gives an official wall-based connecting point for the access of terrestrial television signals such as free view, digital terrestrial television, and standard aerial distribution. The TDDS5 is a type of chromed television aerial wall socket which has a push-in coaxial connector of belling-lee/IEC type used to connect the aerial cable from roof top or loft television aerial into a wall plate surface measuring 81.5×120mm and serves as a cover that fits completely the wall switches and sockets of the T-D type.
What is the difference between a TV socket and a satellite socket?
The TDDS5 television aerial socket utilizes the Belling-Lee/IEC push-in connector and works with terrestrial television signals received from an aerial mounted on the roof, including Freeview and digital terrestrial signals. The satellite socket employs the F-type threaded screw connector and handles satellite signals from a satellite dish, such as Sky and Freesat. The two sockets cannot be substituted for one another because their signals differ from each other. If both types are required in the same room, it is imperative to install them side by side, using the same finishing material.
Does this TV socket require an electrical connection?
The TDDS5 is a passive signal passthrough socket and thus does not need any mains electrical connection. It is merely a wall-mounted professional termination point for the coaxial cable coming from the TV aerial or distribution amplifier. The size of the panel is 81.5×120mm, which makes it compatible to be fitted into a normal back box where other T-D series electrical accessories can be placed.
What chroming finishes is this TV aerial wall socket available in?
Seven color options of the TDDS5 model are in line with the T-D model palette: White, Black, Gray, White with Chroming Gold, Black with Chroming Gun, Gray with Chroming Silver, and Gold with Chroming Gold. The chroming combinations are defined by metallic frames made in Gold, Gun, or Silver to highlight the design and achieve a single look with the light switches and power sockets of the T-D model.
