Work great.... but please do not use them for your power cords!
The plates work very well. They are nice and sturdy and the angled hole helps direct your LOW VOLTAGE cabling such as speaker wire, HDMI, and audio cables.Just make sure you have a low voltage bracket handy such as the Legrand one:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0034XRLFM?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_detailsYou'll also need a drywall saw or razor blade to cut the hole for the low voltage bracket. Once the bracket is in place, this cable plate attaches quickly with 2 screws. I've found it is much easier to feed your cabling from top to bottom and then through this plate prior to attaching it to the wall.One note.... I see a very scary number of images and reviews from other Amazon customers showing they are running their power cords through this plate. This plate is designed only for LOW VOLTAGE wiring, not power cords. Power cords and extension cords are not allowed to be run in walls per the National Electrical Code. Only specialized in-wall rated electrical cabling is allowed. If you were to run, say, the power cord for your TV through the wall using this plate and a fire were to occur in this area, your home owners insurance can and will deny the claim.For wall mounting a TV, you must have a power outlet properly wired behind the TV instead of just running your power cord or an extension cord through the wall. The easiest solution for the do-it-yourself crowd is the Powerbridge:https://www.amazon.com/PowerBridge-Recessed-Management-PowerConnect-Wall-Mounted/dp/B00GWGZKF6?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1

Excellent for TV Mounting
This worked great for running AV to my flat screen wall mounted TV. I liked the 3-gang a little better than a 2 as I was able to open a bigger hole to see what was going on in the wall. I mounted my TV over a direct vent fireplace and this three gang allowed me to make sure I was strapped to a stud and greater than 2 feet in all directions from the fireplace. Overall it worked great. I was able to get my arm in the wall and move around much better than a 2-gang would have let me.For those that were talking about how to mount this to the wall, I think people don't realize that you should be using a mounting bracket with these. These are intended to go over a 3-gang box or low voltage mounting plate. If you don't have one, I picked up one and it mounted right to the drywall with ease and you don't have to worry about pulling it out. The reason it comes with the "flat screws like a light switch" as one reviewer put it is because it's designed to be installed like a light switch, NOT directly into drywall.If you need a low voltage mounting bracket: Vanco LV3 PVC Low Voltage Mount Brackets (Triple) I also uploaded a few pics if you need clarification.The only downside to be aware of is this does open up a large hole in the wall. Make sure you aren't creating a huge draft situation. I used a little cotton insulation (I would advise against fiberglass since it's exposed) and it stopped the draft. If you're worried, light a match and blow it out right in front of the plate, if the smoke goes straight up, you're good.

Almost perfect, but not quite!
I'm torn about giving this a four. I was considering even a three, but in reality that's too harsh. It's really a 3 1/2 but since they don't do halves here, it gets a four. Why?Pros:Downward (or upward I guess if you want) design that's flush with the wall rather than sticking out from it.PriceCons:Downward (or upward I guess if you want) design that because its flush with the wall means the back of the 'chute' is too close to the low-voltage boxes you're supposed to use this with. I had to use a pair of end-nippers to cut away a large portion of the back of that chute... not enough to see from the outside (unless you looked up the chute) but enough that it was a good 20% off which they really should have considered when designing this. (External-chute designs of course don't have this issue but then you do have a non-flush plate so cutting this was better than the alternative.)The 'plate' portion was smaller and thicker than a standard wall plate, so when it's directly beside say an outlet, it seems smaller and thicker than the others so it stands out more. Granted, the holes line up (of course) but they did something else to the size... at least compared to the standard wall plates here.

Solid plastic
The cover is thick sturdy plastic. Definitely a nice way to finish wire routing. Though walls etc.

This was exactly what i needed to clean up the wires and clean look
This is a perfect addition to what I needed to complete the job for my home theatre installation. It was easy to feed the wires through this and provided a great look after wards. It was much better the alternative because of the open hole at the top to guide the wire up. It allows for multiple wire and power cables to be fed through this without any problems. Very pleased with the quality and build.

Buen producto
Excelente producto, muy robusto y con buen acabado. Además lo conseguí a $65 pesosEl único detalle es que este tipo de productos son diseñados para ser instalados en paredes de aglomerado o sheetrock, por lo que son demasiado largos en profundidad y no caben en las cajas electricas (chalupas) normales. La solución fue cortar parte de la extensión del canal de placa para que cupiera en el espacio designado
