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.

http://www.futurehomesystems.com/w300.shtml 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:

http://www.twacomm.com/catalog/model...81AFC0C7C62DC3

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?

Yours aye,

Google for "3-F" wall jack and you'll find more (put quotes around 3-F)

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.

Thanks a lot!

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.
