ABSTRACT:
A wall plate comprises a generally flat surface having an opening therein, extending between its front and back sides, for receiving a communications jack. The back side of the wall plate includes apparatus for engaging the jack and holding it together with the wall plate. A pair of slots are positioned on opposite sides of the opening which provide access, from the front side of the wall plate, to the jack engaging apparatus so that the jack can be easily removed from the wall plate. The slots comprise grooves within a pair of sidewalls that are positioned on opposite sides of the opening. Each groove extends from the front surface of the wall plate toward the back surface thereof, but terminates in a ledge before reaching the back edge of the sidewall. The sidewalls are connected by top and bottom walls and, together, form a collar around the back side of the wall plate.
