Work great.... but please do not use them for your power cords!
The plates work very well. They are nice and sturdy and the angled hole helps direct your LOW VOLTAGE cabling such as speaker wire, HDMI, and audio cables.Just make sure you have a low voltage bracket handy such as the Legrand one:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034XRLFM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsYou'll also need a drywall saw or razor blade to cut the hole for the low voltage bracket. Once the bracket is in place, this cable plate attaches quickly with 2 screws. I've found it is much easier to feed your cabling from top to bottom and then through this plate prior to attaching it to the wall.One note.... I see a very scary number of images and reviews from other Amazon customers showing they are running their power cords through this plate. This plate is designed only for LOW VOLTAGE wiring, not power cords. Power cords and extension cords are not allowed to be run in walls per the National Electrical Code. Only specialized in-wall rated electrical cabling is allowed. If you were to run, say, the power cord for your TV through the wall using this plate and a fire were to occur in this area, your home owners insurance can and will deny the claim.For wall mounting a TV, you must have a power outlet properly wired behind the TV instead of just running your power cord or an extension cord through the wall. The easiest solution for the do-it-yourself crowd is the Powerbridge:https://www.amazon.com/PowerBridge-Recessed-Management-PowerConnect-Wall-Mounted/dp/B00GWGZKF6?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

Perfect for what I needed.
I purchased this 2 gang low voltage receptacle to run a lot of wires through for a 7.1 surround sound system. That means it was large enough for 7 speaker wires, a cable TV wire, one HDMI cable and I also ran a spare HDMI through it just to hang there in case the first HDMI goes bad—easier than fishing a replacement through the configuration of my set up. This two gang recepticle is the perfect size for all those wires with no room to spare. I like the way it sits flat on the wall and the “cup” portion of it goes back into the wall—so even with all those wires coming out, it looks organized. I bought two of these—one to go behind the TV (which could have been the single gang version because only the HDMI goes into the TV—the speaker wires go to the speakers in the ceiling) and one to go near all the components (the receiver/cable box/DVD player). Note that you need to install an electrical outlet near your TV for plugging in the power cord. It is against building codes to run power cords behind the wall. So this should not be used for power cords. Note that it does not come with the mounting bracket so you need to purchase that separately. I highly recommend that you DO purchase that. It makes installation of this plate much more secure. I had to fish a lot of wires through this recepticle and with all that pulling and tugging I surely would have loosened the recepticle had I just screwed it into drywall. The mounting bracket ensures that it is attached securely to the wall and gives you a secure base to screw the recepticle into. Highly recommend this product.If my review was helpful, please let Amazon know by clicking “helpful”. Thanks.

Great to replace cable outlet
My cable outlet stuck out to far to install a book case system. This lets the cable lay flat enough.

Excellent for TV Mounting
This worked great for running AV to my flat screen wall mounted TV. I liked the 3-gang a little better than a 2 as I was able to open a bigger hole to see what was going on in the wall. I mounted my TV over a direct vent fireplace and this three gang allowed me to make sure I was strapped to a stud and greater than 2 feet in all directions from the fireplace. Overall it worked great. I was able to get my arm in the wall and move around much better than a 2-gang would have let me.For those that were talking about how to mount this to the wall, I think people don't realize that you should be using a mounting bracket with these. These are intended to go over a 3-gang box or low voltage mounting plate. If you don't have one, I picked up one and it mounted right to the drywall with ease and you don't have to worry about pulling it out. The reason it comes with the "flat screws like a light switch" as one reviewer put it is because it's designed to be installed like a light switch, NOT directly into drywall.If you need a low voltage mounting bracket: Vanco LV3 PVC Low Voltage Mount Brackets (Triple) I also uploaded a few pics if you need clarification.The only downside to be aware of is this does open up a large hole in the wall. Make sure you aren't creating a huge draft situation. I used a little cotton insulation (I would advise against fiberglass since it's exposed) and it stopped the draft. If you're worried, light a match and blow it out right in front of the plate, if the smoke goes straight up, you're good.

Buen producto
Excelente producto, muy robusto y con buen acabado. Además lo conseguí a $65 pesosEl único detalle es que este tipo de productos son diseñados para ser instalados en paredes de aglomerado o sheetrock, por lo que son demasiado largos en profundidad y no caben en las cajas electricas (chalupas) normales. La solución fue cortar parte de la extensión del canal de placa para que cupiera en el espacio designado
