HDMI Wall Plates
What is the purpose of an HDMI wall plate?
There is no doubt
that the popularity of HDMI wall plates have grown over the past few
years. The main purpose of an HDMI wall plate is to support in-wall
audio video cable installations. By using an HDMI wall plate you are
creating permanent outlets for HDMI and other audio video connection
types. The installation practice of running your audio video
connections into a wall plate allows you to leave your longer more
expensive in-wall cables in the wall where they are safe, while you use
shorter less expensive cables to come off the wall to your audio video
components. An HDMI wall plate will ensure your in-wall cables are
protected while giving you permanent outlets to use for your everyday
connectivity needs.
What options do I have when choosing an HDMI wall plate?
We
offer numerous HDMI plates that offer integrated single and double HDMI
ports, and single HDMI ports with integrated component, coax, and
composite connections. We offer the HDMI wall plates that offer
numerous connection configurations, so you have the flexibility to
choose the wall plate that best supports your needs in a particular
outlet location.
How do I attach cables to an HDMI wall plate?
Attaching
your HDMI and audio video cables to an HDMI wall plate is a piece of
cake! All the connections are plug & play so there are no tools
needed. You just plug your in-wall cables directly into the back of the
wall plate. Then you do the same in the front as you connect your
cables to your audio video devices and components. All the connectors
on our HDMI wall plates are just simple passive pass-through connectors.
The HDMI wall plate’s main purpose is to help you organize all your
connections in a single outlet, which will give your installation the
most professional look. Do you really want a bunch of loose wires and
cables coming out of your wall where they are seen by everyone? And do
you really want your expensive cables exposed out of the wall where they
can be damaged? An HDMI wall plate solves all these issues!
How do I mount an HDMI wall plate?
All
of our HDMI wall plates are made to support single gang installations.
So you can install an HDMI wall plate over a current outlet location, or
you can create a brand new outlet. For existing outlets the holes on
the HDMI wall plate will match the holes that are in place on the
existing low voltage mounting bracket
that is already in place. So mounting the HDMI wall plate will take
just screwing down the two screws that come with the plate. If you are
creating a brand new outlet location you will have to cut a new whole
and insert an Arlington LV1
low voltage mounting bracket into the wall. This will give you the
bracket you need to successfully attach your HDMI wall plate to the
wall. Regardless of your installation type, installing an HDMI wall
plate is very easy.
Will using an HDMI wall plate disrupt my audio video signals?
No.
The connectors on an HDMI wall plate are designed to pass your HDMI
and other audio video cable signals right through the plate without
hindering the quality or performance of your cables.
What if I need a 2 gang HDMI wall plate to support more connections?
If
the single gang HDMI wall plate does not support the amount of
connections you have in a particular area than your best option is to
buy a standard double gang keystone wall plate
and the audio video keystone inserts separately to build your own
custom wall plate. There are numerous RCA, F, speaker, BNC, and HDMI keystone inserts
available for you to snap into your own wall plate. So you can easily
build your own wall plate that supports the connections you need at any
outlet location.
