DVI Wall Plate

[krzywica]

Hey guys I was wondering if there is a DVI wall plate with the regular female on the outside wall side, and punch downs on the inside. I want to be able to just punch a line down on the inside wall side. Thanks guys

I am supposed to put up a monitor on the wall at work, as like a greetings and general info monitor. I am running it from a compuer and all the wires need to be able to fit through conduit. So obviously a large DVI plug won't do. I thought a walll plate would be an ideal solution, but I guess you can't just buy a wall plate and bulk DVI cable and punch down both ends internally like CAT cable. Any help here would be awesome!!

I have a DVI plate from DVI Gear.

They have DVI female end on both sides of the plate. If the space inside the wall is too tight, you can also buy an angle adapter.

Well does anybody know how I would run video from a computer through conduit, to a wall mounted monitor? Anybody?

You run a UL CL-2 rated DVI-D or DVI-I cable through the wall ("D" if you are only using the digital), with or without conduit. The CL-2 rated cable doesn't need conduit. Use a low-voltage box with a DVI wallplate. Terminate the in-wall cable to the female connector in the inside of the wall plate. Run a small patch cable from the wallplate to the monitor and one for the computer.

You could use an HDMI cable and use a HDMI-DVI adapter on the ends if it absolutely has to pass through small conduit.

To be honest, I have never came across just the connectors. Don't think I'd want to play with those tiny wires anyway. A lot worse than Cat-5.
