3. Safety Information
The Sleek Socket Coaxial Cable Concealer is designed and manufactured with safety in mind. It holds safety certifications under all applicable UL Standards (UL Std. 514D) and CSA Standard C22.2 No. 42, ensuring it meets high safety requirements. This product is intended for indoor use only and for use in dry locations only.
- Do not bend coaxial cable greater than a 45-degree radius to prevent damage and signal degradation.
- Ensure proper installation to maintain safety and product integrity.
4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your Sleek Socket Coaxial Cable Concealer:
- Verify Compatibility: This device requires an outlet cable box in the wall behind the existing outlet cover. It is not compatible where the current coaxial outlet cover is attached directly to the wall without an outlet cable box.
- Remove Existing Wall Plate: Carefully remove the screws from your existing coaxial wall plate and detach it.
- Connect Coaxial Adapter: Attach the provided 90-degree female-to-female coaxial adapter to your existing coaxial cable connection. Ensure a secure fit.
- Mount New Wall Plate: Position the Sleek Socket wall plate over the coaxial connection. Secure it to the wall using the color-matched mounting screws provided. Ensure the plate is flush against the wall.
- Route Cable: Guide the coaxial cable from the adapter through the designated channel on the Sleek Socket wall plate.
- Apply Cable Management: Use the adhesive cable management clips to neatly secure the cable flush against the wall, leading it away from the outlet. This helps to conceal the cable and prevent it from being snagged or damaged.

5. Operation
Once installed, the Sleek Socket Coaxial Cable Concealer operates passively by providing a secure and low-profile connection for your coaxial cable. It ensures the cable remains flat against the wall, preventing obstructions and potential damage from furniture or foot traffic. The 90-degree adapter maintains optimal signal integrity by avoiding sharp bends in the cable.
6. Maintenance
The Sleek Socket Coaxial Cable Concealer requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the wall plate and cable for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the surface of the wall plate with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the finish.
7. Troubleshooting
- Wall Plate Not Flush: Ensure the mounting screws are tightened sufficiently. Verify that there is an outlet cable box behind the wall plate, as direct wall mounting without a box is not compatible.
- Cable Signal Issues: Check that the 90-degree coaxial adapter is securely connected to both the wall outlet and your device's coaxial cable. Ensure the coaxial cable itself is not damaged or bent at an angle sharper than 45 degrees.
- Difficulty Removing Backplate: The backplate is designed to snap securely into place. If removal is necessary, gently pry it off using a flat, non-marring tool, being careful not to damage the wall or the unit.
- Adhesive Clips Not Holding: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and smooth before applying the adhesive clips. Press firmly for several seconds to ensure proper adhesion.
