Decorative double wall plates provide a finished appearance for low-voltage connections and can accommodate electrical outlets in the same face plate, with multiple colors and sizes available. Connector plates provide dedicated ports, such as female XLR connections with latching mechanisms and gold-plated contacts, while cable pass-through plates use a fixed silicone grommet and marked perforations to route individual cables or bundles through the wall.

Choose a double wall plate that matches the box’s two-gang configuration, mounting-hole spacing, and the type and layout of connections you plan to install. Measure the finished wall opening, and consider a larger midi plate when the drywall cut extends beyond the standard plate’s coverage.

Double wall plates can support structured-wiring connections, XLR female connections for microphone systems, and silicone-grommet pass-throughs for individual wires or cable bundles. Some formats also allow a low-voltage connection to share a faceplate with an electrical outlet.

Use a double wall plate when an installation needs an electrical outlet and a low-voltage connection in the same faceplate. This approach creates a clean, coordinated finish for locations that combine power, networking, AV, or other low-voltage cabling.
