February 8, 2008 -- Cooper Wiring Devices today announced a new line of multimedia plates to help manage and simplify home entertainment and networking connections. The new plates flush-mount easily on the wall, and provide a cost-effective solution for the unattractive wires, cables and cords that often accompany wall-mounted flat screen televisions, entertainment centers and computer workstations.
The multimedia plates feature a recessed, low profile design that provides for a neat and clean installation in either new construction or remodeling projects. Ideal for wall-mounted flat screen TVs, the multimedia plate with power (Cat. No. 35MR), equipped with swing-out clamps, locks the plate securely against the back of the drywall. In addition, the plate allows for a single receptacle (single-gang box for new construction, or retrofit workbox) at point of installation, which is perfect for wall mounted flat screens.

The plates are offered in one-, two- or three-gang versions (Cat. Nos. 35M1, 35M2 and 35M3) in black, brown and white, and complement any décor with their attractive high-gloss finish. In addition, they can be installed upright or upside down. The innovative reverse-nose design provides for easy cable feed-through and a catch for funneling cables. It also accommodates cable bend radius requirements for low-voltage cable.
"These new multimedia plates are effective in reducing the complicated clutter of wires that often accompany expensive entertainment equipment," stated Jason Sherrill, Product Manager at Cooper Wiring Devices. "These devices offer a smart, convenient cable management solution for any residential or commercial project."
Cooper Wiring Devices also offers customized Home Theatre Kits to provide installers and homeowners faster and easier installations for 5.1 or 7.1 audio systems. In addition, the exclusive SurgeBloc TVSS receptacle, with its snap-in replacement module, requires no rewiring or interruption of power to restore service.
Cooper Wiring Devices new multimedia plates feature a two-year limited warranty, and accommodate all cable-run needs for power, audio, video, home, theater, data and phone. For more information, visit www.cooperwiringdevices.com/mediasync
