[QUOTE="Mikron, post: 471110, member: 19972"] Thanks folks. The CE mark is visible if you zoom in on the bottom-right of the top photo. It looks correct-ish, but if it was a grey market product, it could obviously be fake. I am definitely in two minds. I see some benefits. Over here, with many back-boxes in damp solid walls, and/or with rain ingress through COAX conduits open on the roof, rusting is a common problem - which the plastic would avoid (though obviously not fixing the cause). There are some risks, too, eg. breaking the plastic through overtightening fixing screws or faceplate bolts. My qualified electrician friend is in two minds, too. If I find out more, I'll update this topic. [/QUOTE]
