Get Ethernet Wall Plates for Clean and Reliable Cable Termination

An Ethernet cable wall plate provides a professional and organized solution for terminating Ethernet or coaxial connections in residential, office, and commercial networks. TS Cables is here to help you find the best wall plate to meet your networking needs.

Whether it’s a Cat5 Ethernet wall plate for legacy systems or a Cat8 Ethernet wall plate for high-performance data transmission, wall plates ensure secure cable management, reduced signal interference, and compliance with structured cabling standards.

Technical Overview of Ethernet Wall Plates

Wall plates are designed to house keystone jacks, connectors, or integrated ports for Ethernet and coaxial cabling. Models like the coaxial cable Ethernet wall plate or dual coax Ethernet wall plate combine data and video connectivity into a single interface, making them ideal for multimedia setups. You can also go for a single-gang Leviton-style.

They support multiple cable categories, including:

• Cat5 Ethernet Wall Plate – Suitable for Fast Ethernet and basic data applications.
• Cat6 Ethernet Wall Plate / Cat6 Ethernet Cable Wall Plate – Designed for Gigabit Ethernet with reduced crosstalk.
• Cat6a Ethernet Wall Plate – Supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet with enhanced shielding and bandwidth.
• Cat7 Ethernet Wall Plate – Optimized for high-frequency transmission and EMI reduction.
• Cat8 Ethernet Wall Plate – Data center-grade, supporting 25/40G Ethernet at up to 2000 MHz bandwidth.

Integration of Ethernet and Coaxial Wall Plates

A coaxial Ethernet wall plate or coaxial cable and Ethernet wall plate allows seamless integration of broadband coax connections with Ethernet data ports. These combination units are common in smart home installations, commercial buildings, and structured cabling projects.

Applications

• Data networks in homes and enterprises
• Multimedia systems with Ethernet and coaxial connectivity
• Commercial electric Ethernet wall plate installations in offices and retail setups
• Structured cabling systems for neat, code-compliant terminations

Choosing the Right Wall Plate

When selecting the best Ethernet wall plate, consider:

• Cable Category Support – Ensure compatibility with Cat5, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, or Cat8 cabling.
• Number of Ports – Single-port, dual-port, or multi-port wall plates, depending on network needs.
• Material and Build – Commercial-grade plastics or metal for durability.
• Integration – For combined networks, a dual coax Ethernet wall plate or coax + Ethernet wall plate ensures flexibility.

FAQs – Ethernet Wall Plates

How to install an Ethernet wall plate?

Terminate the Ethernet cable onto a keystone jack, snap it into the wall plate, and secure the plate to the wall box.

How to connect Ethernet wall plates?

Use a patch cable to connect devices to the wall plate, while the rear keystone jack connects to in-wall cabling routed to a patch panel or switch.

How to wire two Ethernet wall plates together to pass through?

Run an Ethernet cable between the two wall plates, ensuring proper termination on both ends following T568A or T568B standards.

How to wire a combination Ethernet cable, coaxial cable, and wall plate?

Terminate Ethernet into the RJ45 keystone port and coaxial into the F-type connector, then install the plate into the same wall box.

Where can I buy Ethernet wall plates?

Ethernet wall plates are available from structured cabling suppliers, hardware stores, and online distributors specializing in networking equipment.
