FACEPLATE, FLAT, 2-GANG, 8-PORT, WHITE

8-Port 2-Gang Flat Faceplate in White for High-Density Keystone Installations

The Faceplate, Flat, 2-Gang, 8-Port, White is a high-capacity wall plate designed for locations requiring multiple keystone jacks in a single location. With eight ports spread across a standard 2-gang size, this faceplate provides dense connectivity for network drops, phone lines, AV connections, or USB charging points. The clean white finish matches most office decors and complements other headsets, phones, and office accessories found in professional environments. It is an essential cable management accessory for data centers, conference rooms, and cubicle clusters.

Flat Profile and High-Density 8-Port Design

Unlike recessed or angled faceplates, this flat design sits flush against the wall, offering a sleek, unobtrusive appearance. The eight keystone ports are arranged in two columns of four, maximizing the use of available wall space. This high-density layout is ideal for:

• Workstations requiring multiple network connections (PC, wireless headset base, printer, VoIP phone)
• Conference rooms with projector, soundbar, HDMI, and Ethernet needs
• IT closets and server rooms with multiple patch panel exits
• Classrooms or labs with numerous device connections

Each port accepts standard keystone jacks (sold separately), allowing you to customize the plate with any combination of RJ45 Ethernet, RJ11 phone, HDMI, USB, coaxial, or blank inserts. This network accessory provides flexibility for evolving technology needs.

2-Gang Size and Sturdy ABS Construction

The faceplate fits standard North American 2-gang electrical boxes and low-voltage mounting brackets. It is molded from high-impact ABS plastic in a clean white finish that resists yellowing and cracking over time. The flat design includes slightly beveled edges for a modern look. Pre-drilled screw holes align with standard 2-gang box spacing, and the included screws match the white finish. Unlike metal plates, this plastic faceplate is non-conductive, making it safer for low-voltage terminations near other office accessories and electronic equipment.

Easy Installation and Keystone Compatibility

Installing the faceplate is straightforward: snap your chosen keystone jacks into the eight ports from the front or rear, terminate your cables to the back of the jacks, then mount the faceplate to a 2-gang wall box or low-voltage bracket. The flat design allows for easy labeling of each port nearby. For installations involving wireless headsets, consider dedicating one port to a PoE-enabled network jack near the base station. For desk phones, a dedicated phone jack (RJ11/RJ12) ensures reliable analog or digital service.

Why Choose an 8-Port Flat Faceplate

Standard 1-gang faceplates typically offer 2–4 ports, which may be insufficient for modern workspaces with multiple devices. Using multiple single-gang plates in one area looks cluttered and takes up valuable wall space. An 8-port 2-gang faceplate consolidates connections into a single, clean installation. This is especially valuable in:

• Hoteling or hot-desking environments where users connect multiple devices daily
• Executive offices with computer, desk phone, conference speaker, and backup network lines
• Home theaters or media rooms requiring network, HDMI, and audio connections

The flat profile also makes it easier to apply large-format labels or organize cables in front of the plate. This low voltage accessory simplifies both installation and daily use.

Best Practices for Installation

Follow these guidelines for a clean, professional result:

• Use a level to ensure the 2-gang faceplate is straight before final tightening.
• For high-density ports, label each jack on the plate surface using a fine-tip permanent marker or adhesive label.
• Leave a 6–8 inch service loop of each cable inside the wall for future re-termination.
• Use color-coded keystone jacks (e.g., blue for data, yellow for phone) for quick visual identification.
• Tighten screws gently to avoid cracking the plastic faceplate; plastic plates are more brittle than metal.

Complementary Products for a Complete Installation

To finish your high-density wall plate setup, pair this faceplate with keystone jacks (Cat6, Cat5e, phone, HDMI, USB-C, coax), a punch-down tool, and pre-terminated patch cables. For surface mount applications where recessed boxes are not available, consider a surface mount box such as our 4-port white version (or pair two 4-port boxes for equivalent capacity).
