DATA COMM Electronics Media Plate with Duplex Surge Suppressor, White, 0 US

Good quality wall plate that looks neat and professional once installed. The material feels durable and it fits perfectly without gaps. Installation was quick and simple. Great product for organizing cables and keeping everything tidy.”

Let me say first off there are some misconceptions about this plate based on the "most helpful" reviews that are older: - The locking tabs are made out of metal now and are no longer plastic - The plate itself is made out of a very sturdy plastic and does not feel cheap - You can install this on an outer wall that has insulation, just takes a bit of work - No issues with crosstalk/interference from low and high voltage wiring using standard shielded cabling (ran parallel) I used this for wall mounted TV and it worked great. I ran the following wires through the opening with room to spare: - HDMI x2 - Optical - Component A/V - IR Extender (1/8" style cabling, similar to what is used for headphones) - Wii sensor bar extender cable - 16 gauge speaker wire I would recommend changing the outlet with a Leviton surge protected outlet (or similar product) if you do not have another option for surge protection, that is, an option that won't leave your setup looking like crap. You will need roughly 7 1/4 and 7 3/8" rectangular (not a perfect square) cut out based on template, but I would plan on 8 inches plus a few more inches on the electrical receptacle side as it goes into the wall at an angle. I really hate seeing this product getting stars knocked off of it because it is "to big" and the buyer didn't provision correctly to ensure it would fit into the allotted space. This is a really great product for clean looking wall mounted TV installations -- just make sure you have the room for it.

Does a great job, exactly what I wanted. I had never wired outlets before but with some research I was able to add one of these behind my TV and another on in my Pantry. This comes with the outlet and box to house the wires in. You cut the hole (template included and then place in in hole, it has clips that can be tightened to hold it to the dry wall. TIP: I would install in a inch or two of the stud. The Outlet that it comes with only has the pushing wire receptacles for the White and Hot. There are 4 hole for each. Then the Ground is a green screw on the side. I was easily able to add from existing outlet then add a second one off the new one. Will but again when I need another one.

Not for the faint of heart. It will require you to cut a large hole in your drywall. Install was a snap, I had my home builder put power outlets mid-way up the wall so I could cut them out and use this. The surge protection combined with the angled recessed outlets was the primary reason I went with this product over similar setups. The angled sockets allow my Samsung LED TV to rest flush against my wall when mounted using a picture frame wire system. Below this unit I use Arlington Industries LVCE2 Low Voltage Mounting Bracket with Cable Wall Plate, 2-Gang, 2-Pack to make the entire install look clean and professional. I was able to fit four Monoprice 10ft Slim Series High Speed HDMI Cable w/ RedMere Technology , one CAT5e cable, and one optical audio cable through the opening. I've bought a few items on Amazon like this one and the Arlington cable plate and I've noticed several reviews where people were complaining about the plastic breaking and things not being "heavy duty". My suggestion is to stop torqueing the screws down to the point you crack the plastic, strip the screw heads, or damage your drywall. These are not load bearing items; they do not need to support much weight. As soon as you feel the drywall tabs press into the back of your wall give it one more spin. Shake it with your hand, if the box doesn't move you're done.

Installation was dirt simple and took me no more than 15 minutes. I was delayed hand screwing in the outlet to the plate because its a tight fit (I could have used a power drill but was nervous about stripping the screws). but otherwise was easy. Pros - large, clean, and nicely recessed space. It is large as reviewers note but definitely serves its function well. Outlet box very easily attaches to plate with small screws. Comes with a template to cut out, to place on wall for drywall cutout. Cons - outlet box sticks out too far. There is no "brush" in the hole to keep airflow from coming through the space where cables come in. Screws to attach outlet to outlet box are VERY difficult to screw in by hand. Overall, great plate and functional. Angle allowed me to recess my cables AND outlet at an angle so I could still plug stuff in. Fits into the space of a stud. Good to go! Now go watch some TV!!

We all know that Amazon lists more than it's share of junk, however this is not on that list. Very happy with the fit and finish and worked perfectly in my wall mount bracket, although I feel it's perhaps just a stroke of luck. I've attached pictures that show how little spare room I had to fit the box within the frame of the wall mount base. In fact, I had to run the right edge of the plate through my table saw as it was overlapping onto the bracket. You'll want to check the opening space on your bracket before you place the order. Good quality product.

Works like a treat easy to install

Worked great! Highly recommend

Perfect! Just what I needed. My only comment is to make sure that your TV mount will fit after this installation. This product protrudes off of the wall by 2-3 mm, I had to modify my TV mount since it is flush to the wall. I am not explaining this properly. In essence, after installing this product, my TV mount did not fit anymore. I had to purchase 3 washers per bolt to slightly pull it off of the wall so that this would fit on top of the media plate. There was nothing wrong with the product, my comment is that you might need to modify your TV mount after installation of this product. In the end, all I needed were 12 washers from home depot and I was back in business. Hope this helps!

I have used a number of different versions of this product from different suppliers and was really impressed with this one. It comes with a template which makes cutting the wall much easier and gives an exact fit. It fits well and has a very tidy finish. It was delivered to my door in a couple of days which allowed me to focus on the project instead of doing supply runs. I'm really happy with the product and would buy again no question.
