Blank wiring wall plates provide an open face for adding compatible snap-ins as needed, while ported wall plates include one or more openings for installing keystone modules. Ported options support organized connections for applications such as networking, telephone, or AV, while blank plates offer flexibility for future wiring needs.

Choose the port count based on the number of low-voltage connections you need, such as data, coaxial, or audio, and allow extra ports if the installation may expand. Choose a single- or double-gang configuration to match the electrical box or wall opening, with larger midi plates helping cover sheetrock blemishes and supporting multiple port layouts.

Use larger-format wiring wall plates when a standard wall plate would not fully cover sheetrock blemishes around the low-voltage opening. Their wider face helps cover the affected area while accommodating keystone inserts in configurations such as one, two, three, four, or six ports.

Yes, wiring wall plates can be used alongside electrical outlets in a combined faceplate installation, helping create a clean low-voltage and power layout. Choose a compatible decorative wall plate configuration designed to accommodate both outlet types.
