Review on VCE Single Brush Wall Plate Cable Pass Through Insert for Wires, Single πŸ”Œ Gang Cable Access Strap, Wall Outlet for HDTV, Home Theater Systems - White (2-Pack) by Joseph Anderson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Five Stars - Electrical

Looks good but be sure to order drywall metal rings as many plastic boxes and rings will not do this. I used thin metal rings with ribs that fold inwards. Because they are metal, they can be made thinner and wider than plastic eyelets that clamp with screws. Need a box for low voltage wiring. Once you have threaded the wires through the hole in the drywall, insert the rings into the wall and bend the tabs around the drywall. Then use adjustable canal locking pliers and tighten until snug. Don't apply too much pressure as you could crush the drywall. You can also try larger wall panels of the appropriate color which may match the drywall better. My wall openings which are on the outside wall with insulation. Try to keep low voltage wiring separate from 120 volt outlets. If installing in a wall, ensure the low voltage cable is rated CL2 or CL3 (with in-wall rating). (This is usually required by local electrical codes.) Shielded cables are also recommended for HDMI and Ethernet cables. Keep the cables as short as possible and make sure the speaker wire is appropriate for the length and wattage of your AVR amp. The same applies to HDMI, audio, video and Ethernet cables. I am a licensed electrician with over 30 years of experience.

Pros
