Clipsal Iconic TV Antenna Socket F-Type Rear - Translucent

Description

The wall socket that completes a professional TV antenna installation.

The Clipsal Iconic 40FFPMS-TN is a PAL-front, F-type rear TV antenna socket mechanism — the in-wall outlet that converts a coaxial F-type cable run into the standard PAL connection a TV or set-top box plugs straight into. No adapters, no compromises, no signal loss.

Built for the Trades That Demand a Clean Finish

For sparkies and AV integrators, the F-type rear connection is the industry standard for coaxial signal distribution. The screw-thread retention locks the cable securely during installation and resists vibration-induced loosening over time — something a push-fit connector simply can't match. The PAL front socket is the connection every Australian TV and set-top box expects on the wall.

The Clipsal Iconic grid plate system makes multi-function data plates fast to build. Combine a TV socket, a data outlet, and a USB charger all in the one plate behind a single skin cover. Fewer plates, less labour, cleaner result — and a finish clients are genuinely impressed by.

A Socket That Ages as Well as the System It's In

For new home builders, hospitality and strata installers, the Iconic system has a longevity advantage. If a skin gets damaged or a client wants to update the colour scheme years later, only the skin swaps out. The mechanism stays in the wall. No rewiring, no replastering. That clip-in, clip-out design also speeds up initial installation — no screws, no fiddling.

The translucent (TN) finish means the mechanism disappears behind any Iconic skin colour. Whether the rest of the plate is Arctic White, Cool Grey, or a bespoke Iconic Styl finish, the 40FFPMS-TN sits behind it invisibly and consistently.

Q: What is the difference between the Clipsal 40FFPMS-TN and the 40PFM-TN?
A: The 40PFM-TN has F-type connectors on both the front and rear face — it is a wall-to-wall F-type through-point, typically used within a distribution system. The 40FFPMS-TN has a PAL female on the front and F-type on the rear. The wall side uses coaxial F-type cable, and the consumer-facing side accepts a standard PAL TV antenna lead. Choose the 40FFPMS-TN wherever a TV or set-top box will plug in with a regular antenna lead.

Q: Is the Clipsal Iconic 40FFPMS-TN compatible with Foxtel and pay TV?
A: Yes. The 40FFPMS-TN suits free-to-air TV, Foxtel satellite, pay TV distribution, and MATV systems. The F-type rear handles the coaxial signal run, and the PAL front socket is the standard used by Foxtel set-top boxes and most Australian televisions.

Q: What grid plate and cover are needed to complete the installation?
A: A Clipsal Iconic grid plate (1 gang or larger, e.g. 3041G) is required to mount the mechanism, plus an Iconic skin cover in the preferred finish. The 40FFPMS-TN clips into the grid plate without screws. Grid plates and skins are sold separately across the full Clipsal Iconic range.

NOTE: This product is the mechanism only. A Clipsal Iconic grid plate and skin cover are required to complete the wall plate assembly. Browse the full Clipsal Iconic range here.
