needed for your television
and a coax and phone jack
are needed for your satellite
system? Or even your kitchen
where your phone/answering
machine requires a phone
and power outlet!

The 2002 National Electrical Code (NEC), per section
800-52 (a)(1)(c) Exception No.1, allows electrical
conductors to share an outlet box when the conductors
and communication cables are separated by a barrier
within the box.

One instant advantage in using a Dual Voltage
Box/Bracket is that the homeowner will see less
“wall acne.” As more homes are being installed with
structured cabling, more wall plates are cluttering up
the walls. After a while, this becomes very unsightly for
the homeowner.

And one advantage for the installer is fewer complaints
will be heard from the homeowner. Have you ever
installed a low voltage device and cover plate a few
inches away from a light switch or a duplex? Has the
homeowner ever complained that the two plates were
vertically uneven?

Which installation looks better to you?
