Coax Jack Covers

Hey, Does anybody know if they make Coax Jack covers that have 3 ports? I can't find them anywhere on the web.

If not, how hard is it to put a new box and jack into an existing wall (sheetrock)?

Thanks a lot!

I've only seen them with 2 ports, but I haven't looked.

seems to have a system where you can get up to 6 ports.

If the new box can go right next to the current box, it should be pretty simple.

Hell, I'm still trying to figure out what you mean by "Coax Jack covers". It sounds just like you want something to cover the jacks to keep something out but that doesn't make much sense unless they are installed outside in the rain or something.

Or did you want a wall plate that has three coax connections? That is way easier. For example you could use one of these:

with three F-type connectors inserted. Or you can pick your own combination of F-type, data, phone, fiber since these faceplates (and similar ones from other makers) come with up to six holes in a single plate but things start to get really really crowded and hard to work with even with an oversized deep box with that many connectors.

BTW: any semi-decent commercial electronic distributor will have these or a similar product from another maker in stock. They are used for telephone and data wiring and virtually every office building is full of them.

I don't think they exist, either. Adding a box isn't hard, and in fact you can get coax plates that don't even require a box; they use anchors and screw into the drywall; all you need is the hole for the coax to come through. That said, is there a reason you can't just put a splitter on one of the existing coax connections? Other than the inherent 'looks ugly' factor?

I think this is what you want.

I don't know if they make them but you could make one. Just get a blank wall plate, drill 3 holes and each of them put in a female-female connection. Some plastic plates might have ribs in the back, although I don't know if they would be in your way.

Hmmm. I'm only dealing with the 3 and Jack. Not sure what you mean by Jack *cover*.

And you don't need a box for cable or phone stuff.

Oops. That should be "3-F" wall plate

Or get a one-holer, and drill 2 more holes.

This places sells a plate with 1,2, or 4 F-connectors, but you need a double gang box...

BTW, do you have 3 cables coming into the box, or is it just 1 cable you hope to split 3 ways?

These guys will have what ever you need. ( and some things you don't need )

Also, for a coax jack, don't bother with the box, just mount the cover plate on the wall with sheetrock anchors.
