ABSTRACT:
A dual purpose wall plate (10) includes a flat support plate (20) that defines on one half a support plate opening (26) and a sloped cable support extension (32) for extending into the hollow wall structure and for passing low voltage communications cable (39) through the wall. The other half of the support plate (20) includes a plug opening (38) and a plug receptacle housing (40) and a high voltage plug receptacle (44) for receiving a power plug (41). The external surface of the dual purpose wall plate is substantially flat and substantially coextensive with the wall to which it is mounted, therefore forming no protrusions that would interfere with the mounting of a flat screen television or other device directly over the wall plate.
