Eaton Thermoplastic Wallplate with Coax Adaptor

The Eaton Thermoplastic Wallplate with Coax Adaptor is a standard-duty device wallplate built to cover and protect a coax connector opening at a residential or light-commercial outlet. Molded from durable thermoplastic, this wallplate measures 2.8 in wide by 4.5 in high with a product length/depth of .8 in, giving it a low-profile fit flush against the wall surface. It is classified as a wallplate with connector, making it a purpose-built solution for coax cable terminations in place of a standard blank or switch plate.

Key Features

  • Compact Dimensions: Measures 2.8 in wide x 4.5 in high with a .8 in product length/depth, sized for a single-gang coax opening.
  • Durable Construction: Molded thermoplastic body resists everyday wear, chipping, and discoloration for long-term performance at residential and light-commercial locations.
  • Wallplate with Connector: Configured specifically to accept a coax adaptor, keeping the cable termination point clean, covered, and code-compliant.
  • Standard Device Profile: Sized to the standard wallplate footprint, so it installs on common single-gang device boxes without special hardware.
  • Low-Profile Fit: The slim .8 in depth allows the plate to sit close to the wall for a finished, professional appearance.

Eaton 1172W – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Eaton 1172W wallplate fit a standard single-gang device box?
Yes. The Eaton 1172W coax wallplate is built to the standard single-gang device footprint, measuring 2.8 in wide by 4.5 in high, so it mounts on common single-gang boxes and mud rings without extra hardware. That 4.5 in height is the standard device plate dimension, so it lines up with other standard plates already on the wall.
2) Does the Eaton 1172W come with the coax connector, or do I supply my own F-connector?
The 1172W is a wallplate with connector, meaning the coax adaptor is part of the plate rather than a separate insert you snap in. You terminate your RG cable onto the back side and land the device feed on the front port. It covers and protects a coax connector opening at the outlet.
3) If the opening is a toggle switch rather than a coax jack, what plate should be used instead of the Eaton 1172W?
The Eaton 1172W is molded with a coax adaptor opening, so it only suits a coax termination. For a standard toggle switch opening in a single-gang box, the Pass & Seymour TP1LA TradeMaster 1-gang toggle switch wall plate in nylon, light almond, or the TP1RED 1-gang nylon toggle plate in red are built for that opening. Mulberry also offers the 41020 1-gang toggle switch plate in its 4102 series, finished gas burner red.
4) We need to cover two devices in one plate, not a single coax jack. What replaces the Eaton 1172W there?
The Eaton 1172W is sized to the standard single-gang footprint with a coax adaptor opening, so it will not cover a 2-gang box. For two-device openings, the Mulberry 76432 (764 series) and Mulberry 76532 (765 series) are cold rolled steel 2-gang combination wallplates in white, and the Pass & Seymour Trademaster two-gang combination wallplate is the nylon option.
5) What color and material is the Eaton 1172W wallplate?
White, molded from thermoplastic. Thermoplastic holds up to everyday handling without chipping or discoloring, which matters on an apartment turn or a hotel room where the plate gets touched every time a TV is swapped. If your job spec calls for metal, this is not the plate; the Mulberry 8640 Series 1-gang plate is cold rolled steel by comparison.
6) Is the Eaton 1172W suitable for commercial work or just residential?
It is a standard-duty device plate intended for residential and light-commercial outlets: cable TV drops, home theater and media room walls, structured cabling and low-voltage openings. For heavier commercial or institutional corridors where steel plates are specified, look at a cold rolled steel plate such as the Mulberry 764 or 765 Series combination plates instead.
7) The box is set crooked and the standard plate does not cover the wall opening - what oversized plate works where the Eaton 1172W will not?
The Eaton 1172W is a standard-profile plate at 2.8 in wide by 4.5 in high, so it gives no extra coverage margin. Where a larger footprint is needed, the Pass & Seymour SPJ is a junior-jumbo thermoset wall plate, and the Bryant PJ series is an M-size wallplate for wiring devices. Both SPJ and PJ options are cut for their own device openings, so confirm the opening matches the device you are covering.
8) What is the white steel alternative to the Eaton thermoplastic coax wallplate for a single-gang box?
The Eaton 1172W body is molded thermoplastic in white. If a metal plate is preferred for the same single-gang footprint, the Mulberry 86401 is a steel 1-gang wallplate in white from the 8640 series. Note the Eaton plate carries a coax adaptor opening, so the two are interchangeable only in gang size and mounting footprint, not in device opening.
9) Is a Bryant NP26W or P8 wallplate a direct swap for the Eaton 1172W?
Not for the same device. Both are 1-gang plates - the Bryant NP26W is an HWS series P26W 1-gang wallplate and the Bryant P8 is a 1-gang duplex wallplate - but the P8 is cut for a duplex receptacle. The Eaton 1172W is configured to accept a coax adaptor, so swapping either Bryant plate onto a coax termination leaves the wrong opening. They match the Eaton only in single-gang mounting.
10) What is the exact part number to order this Eaton coax wallplate by?
Order it as Eaton 1172W. That is the manufacturer part number for the white thermoplastic single-gang wallplate with coax adaptor, and there is one configuration, so no color or size suffix to pick.
