Wallplate connection ideas ?

[kiwiaudionut]

My media closet is outside the theater room and i need a wallplate that has two female HDMI, female component and 110V. I expect to install the 110V as a separate jack, but the other three would be nice to see in the same plate. I've used Levitron before for various receptacle jacks (they have a great snap in modular decora plate product line) but cannot see these particular jacks in their lineup.

What do you folks use ?

I use Leviton for the network jacks and Dayton from partsexpress.com for speaker binding posts and coax jacks.

The Dayton plates and jacks are modular and monoprice.com sells what looks to be the exact same thing but $1 cheaper. I've never needed HDMI jacks in a wall plate so haven't looked for them but I'm sure partsexpress has something.

It's easiest to find what all they have by just searching for 'decora'.

So, you need this:

with this to divide the high voltage from the low voltage so your THREEE gang box looks like this:

Then you get a couple of decora type keystone jack inserts:
Component needs three:

HDMI you need two:

Now you just need the red, green, and blue RCA connections, and two HDMI connections:

You can use a six port plate as well, then put a blank cover on the 6th hole if you would like to do it in a two-gang box, but this will make things really tight!

Finally, may I suggest a nice metal wallplate instead of a cheap plastic one?

Thanks BMXTRIX, that is very close to what I ordered today. Forgot about checking with monoprice though - (I've used them before, but just don't think about them for anything but cables). They beat the price I paid too - Oh well.
I also did not think about the divider wall inside the box. Good thinking - I didn't know those boxes existed. How much weight do you give this ? I've already installed a 3 gang box, but can still trade it out.
Actually, i just checked the box i used and it has the slots for the divider, so i guess i'll look for that tomorrow.

Thanks again !!

Well, just in case someone else heads down this road, the carlton divider is only made for a few of their boxes and of course, not the old work box i used !
I cut it down and made it work with trusty caulk filling in the gap at the back.
I also drilled my own holes in the back to route the wires. This makes trading them out and installing others way easier than messing with the installed plastic strain releif tabs that also like to crush the cable.
I also always install a pull wire for later runs. Just pull another one through when you use it.
