Easy-Mount Recessed Cable Plate

The DataComm Electronics 45-0008-BK is a low-voltage wall plate designed for clean cable routing behind flat-panel displays, amplifiers or other audio-video devices. It installs directly into drywall without separate low-voltage mounting brackets or mud rings, saving time during new-build or retrofit work. The plate can be oriented upright or upside down to suit the cable path. Home installers and AV integrators gain a neat finish with minimal parts.

Thermals Noise and Power

As a passive cable-management accessory the plate generates no heat, draws no power and produces no audible noise. It simply provides a protected pass-through for low-voltage conductors such as HDMI, speaker wire or Ethernet. Because it contains no active components there are no thermal limits, fan curves or electrical ratings to consider. The installation environment remains unchanged regardless of the cables routed through it.

Build Quality and Daily Use

The black finish blends with dark wall surfaces and modern AV equipment for a discreet appearance. Its single-gang proportions fit standard electrical boxes and cut-outs, while the recessed profile keeps cables close to the wall to reduce snag risk. Mounting hardware is included so the plate secures directly to drywall without additional brackets. The open aperture accommodates typical connector sizes, allowing straightforward cable changes when equipment is upgraded.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DataComm 45-0008-BK recessed cable plate without a separate low-voltage mounting bracket or mud ring?

The plate is designed for direct easy-mount installation; it requires no separate low-voltage mounting plate or old-work mud ring and can be mounted upright or upside down to route cables behind a flat-panel TV, amplifier or other A/V devices.

What maintenance or replacement will the 45-0008-BK cable plate need over time?

The plate itself has no moving parts or consumable components, so it requires no scheduled maintenance; replacement would only be necessary if the plastic housing is physically damaged during a later renovation.

What is the first limitation I will hit when running multiple cables through the 45-0008-BK plate continuously?

The practical limit is the physical capacity of the recessed opening — once the cavity is filled, additional cables cannot be added without removing the plate or enlarging the wall cut-out.
