Review on 🔌 DATA COMM Electronics 45-0031-WH Recessed Low Voltage Media Wall Plate with Built-in Duplex Receptacle - White by Adam French

Let me first say that there are some misconceptions about this plate based on the "helpful" reviews that were older: - The mounting lugs are now metal and larger, not plastic - The panel itself is made of very strong plastic and doesn't look cheap - You can mount it on an outside wall with insulation, just takes a little work - No problems with crosstalk from low and high frequency voltage cables with standard shielded cable (run in parallel ). I used it for a wall mounted TV and it worked great. I routed the following wires through the hole, leaving some space: - HDMI x2 - Optical - Component A/V - IR Extender (1/8" cable, similar to that used for headphones) - Wii Sensor Bar Extension Cable - 16 I'd recommend replacing the outlet with a Leviton surge protector (or similar) unless you have another surge protector option that doesn't leave your rig in the shit. A 7 1/4" x 7 3 /8" rectangle (not a perfect square) cut from the template, but I would allow 8" plus a few inches more from the side of the outlet if it enters the wall at some angle. I really hate seeing this product not getting an asterisk because it's "too big" and the buyer didn't prepare it properly to make sure it would fit in the space allotted. This is a really great product for neatly wall mounting your TV - just make sure you have room for it.
