The plates work very well. They are nice and sturdy and the angled hole helps direct your LOW VOLTAGE cabling such as speaker wire, HDMI, and audio cables.Just make sure you have a low voltage bracket handy such as the Legrand one:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034XRLFM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsYou'll also need a drywall saw or razor blade to cut the hole for the low voltage bracket. Once the bracket is in place, this cable plate attaches quickly with 2 screws. I've found it is much easier to feed your cabling from top to bottom and then through this plate prior to attaching it to the wall.One note.... I see a very scary number of images and reviews from other Amazon customers showing they are running their power cords through this plate. This plate is designed only for LOW VOLTAGE wiring, not power cords. Power cords and extension cords are not allowed to be run in walls per the National Electrical Code. Only specialized in-wall rated electrical cabling is allowed. If you were to run, say, the power cord for your TV through the wall using this plate and a fire were to occur in this area, your home owners insurance can and will deny the claim.For wall mounting a TV, you must have a power outlet properly wired behind the TV instead of just running your power cord or an extension cord through the wall. The easiest solution for the do-it-yourself crowd is the Powerbridge:https://www.amazon.com/PowerBridge-Recessed-Management-PowerConnect-Wall-Mounted/dp/B00GWGZKF6?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

Have bought this product several times. Typically put one behind a TV, and the other at outlet height. Great way to pass a variety of cords through the wall, and especially easy if it's an interior wall with no insulation in it to try and yank the cables through. Don't forget to get an easy to install 1 gang low voltage mounting bracket.This is an easier project than most people think to enable hiding your wiring. Whether it's to a TV or going up a wall to a speaker, light, etc. Get a stud finder, hand drywall saw, and some fish tape to pull the cable through (not even always needed, especially in open wall cavities). YouTube has some great videos to help get you confident.

This is a simple cover plate for a wall hole that provides a neat, orderly way to feed cables from your Home Theater system into the wall, or out of the wall at the TV Monitor location. It lets you buy one, long set of cables, rather than one set for inside the wall and two patch sets for home theater receiver to the wall, and wall to TV monitor. If you have more than one type of connection, this will make your install much less expensive!Things to know:1. You will need TWO, if you are going to use a single set of cables!2. You will need a old-work, low-power wall box for each one purchased. You can get these for $1-3 each (depending on style) at your local "Big-Box" hardware store. (Check both the electrical area and the home networking areas to find both styles.)3. When planning your installation, recognize that the clump of wires coming out of the wall will not make many wives happy! Plan to have both boxes hidden by the TV or Home theater cabinet.4. If moving connections horzintally from one wall location to another, you are likely to run into one or more studs. If you do not have experience with blind drilling large holes, you will be much happier taking the cables into the attic or crawl space in one stud space, and back into the wall at the new stud space.

There is nothing like a wall mounted 50" TV especially if you can make it look wireless. I purchased two of these inexpensive items and with two Low Voltage mounting brackets (Home Depot) I made the TV installation look great. I mounted one behind the far lower corner of the TV and one about the height of the plug (about 2 1/2 to 3' apart this is important).I have run all the wires required to run two Game Stations and every other accessory wire that the television requires to populate every output/input on the TV. Make sure that you plan first it helps to make sure that you have a hollow wall so that you can run accessory wire without obstruction. Also make sure that the two Gang plates are directly in line with one another and don't make them too far apart so that most wire will not need to be extended. Leave the plates accessable so that you can remove them for future wire without too much destruction. I can slide my TV over 6" and I have access to the plate but it is a good Idea to leave a fish rope threaded through the wall and out of both Gang Plates too.I am really happy with the simplicity and finished look however if it is cold behind the wall there is nothing stopping the cold air from coming out of these plates so keep that in mind or plan to stuff insulation in the holes.

This is a perfect addition to what I needed to complete the job for my home theatre installation. It was easy to feed the wires through this and provided a great look after wards. It was much better the alternative because of the open hole at the top to guide the wire up. It allows for multiple wire and power cables to be fed through this without any problems. Very pleased with the quality and build.

Awesome product! Best way to future proof home AV wiring, Use these coupled with boxless wall brackets and you will be set until everything becomes wireless. TIP: The raceway conduit that is typically used with these plates can be pretty pricey, and the larger diameter stuff needed for HDMI + CAT5/6 + other cables to run through at the same time can be hard to find. I ended up buying a sump pump hosing kit for under $10 and the flexible hose in that is more than up to this task.

The cover is thick sturdy plastic. Definitely a nice way to finish wire routing. Though walls etc.
