What are you trying to do?, a double wall socket probably requires two feeds for both sockets to work - depends on the exact socket, and what you're wanting to do.

Thank you for your answer
I am trying to get 2 females to work off from one feed so that I do not need a Y connector what you are saying I need to have 2 feeds for each female work

A simple "Y" connector will not impedance match. You need a splitter. Check here:

Note that a two-way splitter will reduce the RF signal by 3Db on each output.

It depends what exact socket you have, the normal one just has inputs for two separate wires, or you can get them with a splitter built-in, or with a diplexer built-in (TV/FM).

The one I bought is this one so I need two feed cables

with two completely separate coax sockets and screw terminals at rear for two separate cables. Overall size 86mm square. Depth from rear of plastic face 15mm.
