Wall Mount - wall plate, cables


This dual gang cable plate does the job of hiding your equipment wires behind the wall. It gave my home theater area a clean professional installation look. Installing is fairly easy long as its installed on the sheet rock itself. I encountered a few laths and that kindda made it difficult. Needed to cut through but once that was done, everything else was a breeze. Need the dual gang low voltage mounting bracket to install so make sure you get that too. Shipping was quick and easy.Happy with this product. DataComm 45-0002-BK 2-Gang Recessed Low Voltage Cable Plate (Black)

This is a pretty basic item, my only complaint is it's hard to mount on the wall. I couldn't find the correct wall insert to attach this to. The screw holes on this plate are VERY close to the hole you have to cut into your wall. I ended up just using glue to keep attached to the wall.

I bought TWO of these, and using the low voltage ring secured to the drywall

to pass an audio snake to the adjacent room.



These plates are of average quality, standard outlet/switch plate plastic.

Generous plate mouth opening is quite LARGE and will easily accommodate TO 10 channel

Multi-core cables along with a few miscellaneous twin lead speaker cables.



Considering the average wall thickness is 3-1/2" to 4",

Placing TWO of these plates, on BOTH sides of the same wall for a cable pass-thru

presents the problem that you can't-mount TWO of these plates BACK TO BACK!



Why? -Because they are TOO DEEP!



SO, if you are going to use these in this application:

1. Check your wall DEPTH or THICKNESS FIRST! Before cutting any holes!

2. Cut your FIRST hole where desired.

3. Measure off the SECOND hole, STAGGARD AWAY from the firsthole.



Secure the cover plate with the supplied screws AND DON'T over tighten the screws,

Especially when tightening it down on an un-even wall surface!



When finished, that 10 channel SNAKE flowed smoothly into the wall, just like a SNAKE! - Wall Plate - Wall Mount - Home Theater - Cables'
