Review on Cmple – 1 Port Keystone Wall Plate Single-Gang Wall Plate with Keystone Jack Insert - Ivory (10 Pack) by Leon Johnsson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not ideal for low voltage wallplates

I bought these obviously because I have a lot of connections I want to make between walls. The only downside (and a big one for me) is that they're a bit big for the low voltage boards I've found. I've tried 4 or 5 different brands of low voltage mounting pads and they won't accept this pad without some modifications. However, they will work with remodeling the mounting plates, which takes almost as much time as cutting a hole in the wall and running cables - in other words, it takes quite a bit of time and you have to be careful or you'll pass it there is a risk that the mounting plate will be damaged and become unusable. Update: I found some *old* low voltage mounting plates lying around and they work great!. Based on what I could see I bought them from Ace Hardware. I tried doing a few searches and couldn't find any more. If you're looking for something that works (without major modifications) then you need an internal clearance of 2-15/16. Anything else and you will need to make modifications to the mounting bracket before you can use these plates.

Pros
