Hi All,
I'm getting Foxtel IQ2 installed requiring an extra cabel to come out of the wall.


Currently the wall plate I have is 4 way with 1 Cable TV, 1 Telephone and 2x Cat 5 Ethernet.

What I'd like is for 5 cables to come out of the same point on the wall to incorporate the extra cable required for the Foxtel.

My questions are:

1. Can I just get a 5 way wall plate and unclip inserts in existing 4 way wall plate and clip them into new wall plate?

2. Where can I get one of these plates from, bunnings said they were special orders. I'm expecting the foxtel cabel guy not to have a 5 way plate and use that as an excuse to drill holes in my timber floor for the new cabel. If I buy the plate myself first he'll have no excuse.

3. I'm confused by what I see on the web regarding wall plates. Dies the new wall plate require unscrewing the old plate from the wall and replacing with the new one?

Cheers
Seth
