Cable Termination
Wallplate
A wallplate is a form of small patch panel typically used at end user locations.
The wallplate provides a connection and termination point for the facility cabling
to which a user station may be connected with a length of jumper cabling.
Wallplates are available in several styles, and for all types of standard connectors.
Wallplates may provide only one connector, or may be capable of supporting
eight or more separate connectors. Those wallplates which can support multiple
connectors are called modular wallplates. The construction of a modular
wallplate allows a number of individually selected connector types to be placed
in each individual wallplate. Using the modular wallplate construction options,
you may have wallplates with a mix of RJ45, BNC, or fiber optic ST connectors, all
based upon the needs of the location in question.
Figure 13-7. Modular Wallplate
Wallplates are installed by cutting a hole in the wall where the wallplate is to be
located. Into this hole you place a wallplate eliminator, a recessed box which
performs the actual securing for the wallplate assembly. The wallplate itself, once
the cable connections are made, is locked or fastened into the wallplate eliminator.
