AV Wall Plates & Outlets

AV wall plates finish a cable run at the wall with a neat socket, so a screen, laptop or audio source connects without trailing leads. The AV:Link range here includes HDMI, XLR, F-type and multimedia plates, a Bluetooth receiver plate, clip-in modules for HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, USB, audio, coax and Cat6, and brush and grommet plates that let cables pass through the wall. Plates come in single gang and double gang sizes.

Choosing AV Wall Plates & Outlets

Decide between a finished plate with its own sockets, a modular plate built from clip-in modules, and a brush plate that lets the cable itself pass through.

Ready-made connection plates

The 123.380UK has a gold plated HDMI socket with a female tail to the rear and fits a standard single mains back box, and the 123.390UK is its brushed steel twin. For audio, the 123.316UK carries one XLR socket and the 123.317UK two, each with solder terminal connections. Multimedia plates put several sockets on one 1-gang faceplate: the 122.395UK combines 4K HDMI, VGA, USB and 3.5mm audio, and the 122.387UK pairs 8K HDMI with USB4 Type-C.

Modular plates

Clip-in modules fit AV:Link wall plate module frames, so one frame can carry a mix of connections. The 122.550UK DisplayPort 2.0 and 122.545UK VGA modules measure 50mm x 25mm and have a female tail at the rear. The 122.565UK Cat6 RJ45 keystone has 180 degree punch down IDC connections and is backwards compatible with Cat5e and Cat5, and the 122.510UK blanking module closes an unused space.

Brush and grommet plates

When a lead has to run straight through to the equipment, a brush plate hides the hole. The 123.270UK is a single gang brushed steel plate with a 50x50mm aperture and twin brushes that can be removed for easier installation. The 123.275UK plastic 1-gang plate mounts straight onto the wall or into a standard UK back box, which is not supplied. The 123.281UK white replacement brushes swap for the black ones supplied with the single gang brushplates.

Frequently asked questions

What is a modular AV faceplate?

A modular AV faceplate is a frame with apertures that accept clip-in modules, letting you combine HDMI, USB, VGA, audio or network sockets on one plate. Blank modules close any spare space, and modules can be swapped later as equipment changes. The range here includes clip-in modules for HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, coax and Cat6.

What is an AV brush wall plate used for?

An AV brush wall plate covers a cable hole in the wall, letting leads pass through to equipment while the brushes hide the opening. It suits wall-mounted screens and projectors where the cables already have plugs fitted, so no socket needs wiring. Plates can fit a standard back box or mount on the wall surface. The range here includes single and double gang brush plates in steel and plastic.

How does an HDMI wall plate work?

An HDMI wall plate puts a neat HDMI socket on the wall, and a short tail at the back joins the cable hidden in the wall. A standard HDMI lead then connects the screen or source. Check that the plate's bandwidth suits the resolution, such as 4K, and that it fits the back box. The range here includes single HDMI plates and multimedia plates combining HDMI with USB.

What is an AV wall plate?

An AV wall plate is a faceplate that gives audio and video cables a tidy connection point at the wall, with sockets such as HDMI, XLR, USB or F-type. Equipment then plugs into the plate instead of leads trailing across the room. Plates usually fit a standard UK back box in single or double gang sizes. The range here includes ready-made socket plates, clip-in plate modules and brush plates.
