ABSTRACT:
A wall plate for use with a standard electrical outlet includes an extended portion for mounting a modular telephone jack and a male terminal of a coaxial video cable. Integrally molded sockets projecting from a back surface of the plate are used to mount the telephone jack and video terminal. The sockets are positioned in the plate so that the plate may be inverted for locating the telephone jack and video terminal on either side of a standard electrical box. Means including a break-away seat for the video terminal and brackets molded integrally with the plate are used to protect the plate against breakage.
