Low-voltage wall plates typically attach to compatible installation brackets or low-voltage mud rings with the appropriate screws, while quick-connect brackets can speed device mounting during installation. For finished walls, some entrance plates mount directly with drywall screws and can cover the cable opening, while others attach to a low-voltage bracket.

Low-voltage wall plates can accommodate standard modular inserts and provide one, two, four, or six ports, depending on the wall plate configuration. Cable entrance plates also provide an opening for routing low-voltage wiring through the wall while presenting a cleaner finished appearance.

Choose a single-gang plate that matches the low-voltage bracket or mud ring, then select one, two, four, or six ports based on the number of connections the installation requires. Match the finish to the surrounding hardware, with options such as white, light almond, ivory, gray, or black for a coordinated appearance.

Use a cable entrance plate when cables need to pass through the wall without terminating at a connector, such as when routing wire into or out of a wall cavity. Use a standard low-voltage wall plate when you need one or more organized ports for modular inserts and finished device connections.
