Virgin cable media wall plate

Good evening,

Currently renovating the lounge and wanted to tidy up the cables behind tv with a media wall plate.

Similar to these https://www.diy.com/departments/ele...ts/tv-sockets-faceplates/DIY579420.cat?page=2

However, I can’t seem to find one which would house virgin cable, tv aerial, phone line and sky satellite. I thought they were all different connections and the wall plates all seem to be coaxial and satellite. No mention of cable.

Can anyone shed any light? Are they all the same connections, just requiring adapters or am I looking in the wrong place?

Please excuse my ignorance.

Thank you
 
Leave it well alone mate as if you mix it all up it will do more harm than good (y)

VM cables has voltage don’t put it in a pokey box with other cables you will have no tv no phone & no life :LOL::ROFLMAO:

But all your devices are dying is this a good thing to recommend something that is inferior
The best thing to do with the vm wall socket is to leave it in place (y)

I post to help people out like most do on here :smiley:(y)

Clip all the cables nice and neat and if sunk into any walls then sheath them in and make sure you have no exposed ends behind the sockets and you will be fine and a far better job,Its only coax cable and around 2 amps at most the feed coming into the house so very low voltage .
 
I suppose my questions boils down to whether the f type connections can be used for sky and virgin?

As they are the only connections I can’t find for these plates

Use what ever connection you are happy with and f connectors are designed for use with coax cable so they are fine to use
