|
|
i am having trouble finding a single gang wallplate (3" as opposed to 5") with 5 BNC connectors on it.
now, i could buy canare through and through bnc barrels and make my own, but i'm wondering if there is an interference or other problem that prevents stuffing all 5 into such a small place. i've never seen problems in the computer world (yeah, we used BNC's for years) but video is different than computer networks.

I have never seen any plates with 5.
I have seen 3 you can see them here http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/home-wiring.html
I have seen 6 as well.
A double plate can be found here http://www.avsupplystore.com/wpl-2121.html
but it is quite expensive. give a nice spacing though.
I'd recommend getting a stainless steel one that has one like for a cable connection and drill two holes above and below the one. They may exist. I'm not sure. I'd put Barrel connectors in the plate so the individual cables can be moved.
Or just use Mild steel and paint it.

What about something like this?
Then you just need a six way keystone wall plate and a blank for the sixth.

that's nice. i have keystone on the four surround jacks so that would match.
my local Home Depot has keystone bnc's like that, but they are more than twice the price 
thanks for the pointer.
