Choose the port count based on the number of low-voltage connections needed, such as one or two ports, or select a blank plate when you plan to use compatible snap-ins. Choose a single-, double-, or triple-gang plate for the number of connections and devices, or use a larger midi plate to cover oversized drywall cuts.

Many black AV wall plates accept keystone inserts, including blank configurations that work with snap-ins from multiple manufacturers. Midi wall plates also support compatibility with other structured wiring lines, but confirm the plate size, gang configuration, and port count before installation.

Use blank black AV wall plates when you need an unconfigured surface or plan to add compatible snap-ins, and choose decorative plates for a finished look with standard single-, double-, or triple-gang layouts. Choose midi plates when a larger face helps cover oversized drywall cuts, or use a pass-through configuration when you need to route and organize audio/video cables through the wall alongside recessed power.

Before installing black AV wall plates, confirm the wall opening, gang size, mounting method, and available depth, then verify that the plate accepts the required ports, keystone inserts, or pass-through components. Plan the in-wall cable route and keep low-voltage AV wiring separated from line-voltage wiring as required by local codes, using a recessed power and cable-management solution when the installation calls for both.
