Master socket 5C - do protective covers exist

Chopsy1 — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 11:23:22 GMT

We have the above Master socket which conveniently sticks out by 8cm in our hall.
Our dog has decided that the wires coming out of it are their for her entertainment.
Does anyone know if white or clear protective covers exist?
Everything I’ve found is designed for very slim/standard depth sockets.

Openreach do not have, nor do they supply any kind of protective cover for an NTE.

That is something you’ll have to Engineer yourself.

Ok, thanks. Hoping there might have been a generic cover that someone might have come across.
At least I can’t make it any uglier than the current engineering design.

Before buying/making a cover it might be worth making the NTE Flush Mounted instead of Wall Mounted.

Thank you. We did look into this but the engineer said it wasn’t possible but as this was many years ago, it might be worth revisiting.
