My plan was to incorporate this with the Pyle Home PHI71B Combination Audio Video Wall Plate (Black) in a three gang box, using a standard three gang stainless steel cover plate. The PHI71B wall plate is a standard decora size and will fit a standard wall plate, not so with this product. The only option is to use this stand alone with the included Pyle wall plate. I cannot speak to the quality of the components as I am returning this.

PROS:

* Port Selection

CONS:

* This unit will NOT fit in a standard decorator switch plate. That means if you were planning on putting this in a multi-gang outlet box you're out of luck! With a Dremel or file you might be able to modify it, but there was no good reason to design it this way.

* The HDMI ports aren't angled properly, you'll more than likely have to add a 90-degree bend. If you're using a pair of these like I would, that'd mean by using the wall plates versus a direct connection that you've just added 4 splits to your cable run. With HDMI this will likely require you do add a passive or active repeater. I recommend the following repeater for under $20, it uses the power supplied by the HDMI cable itself to amplify the signal, it's genius and it works great. HDMI Active Equalizer Extender Repeater Extend Upto 100FT

Additional Considerations:

* If you're going to hide your cable box and other home theater equipment you don't need to run Coaxial to the TV.

* The RCA Audio jack is digital compatible. Get a thick sub woofer cable (Mediabridge Ultra Series Dual Shielded Subwoofer Cable RCA to RCA Gold Plated Pro Grade Connectors (35 Feet)) and you can use this to output digital signal from your TV to your receiver if your receiver passes through HDMI audio rather than decoding it. Do not bother fishing unshielded RCA or 3.5mm audio cable.

* Running 2 x Cat5E/6 cables is a great idea in-case you ever need to do a long distance HDMI run. You can get equipment that'll run HDMI over two network cables at great lengths for cheaper than active HDMI repeaters.

ethernet docks are not very good, you have to be able to seperate the ethernet wires out to use this. you cannot simply plug an ethernet wire into one end and another ethernet wire into the other end. overall not a good product, i would not recommend this product.
