bulk cable wall plate

Recommended Posts

Anyone use a "bulk cable wall plate" to install about 4 or 5 camera video wires into a closet for your dvr? I am using cat5e cable with baluns.

 

Its between the wall plate or running a conduit down from the attic through the ceiling. I figured if I used a wall plate I could put the video wire anywhere I wanted to without having to go behind the shelves or notching out behind the shelf for the conduit

If you're using Cat5 theres no reason to use a bulk wall plate. A Decora keystone plate and as many RJ45 passthroughs as required will look a lot cleaner. I just put a 4-gang wall plate together (24 keystones) with 4 BNC and 4 DC power jacks for my cameras, 2 ethernet, 1 coax, and 6 audio banana plugs. It looks like the space shuttle but it's much cleaner than having a bulk plate, or 2 or 3 separate panels for each function.
