Find the right TV module wall plate size for hiding cables. Learn about 45mm modules, Euro plates, and blank plates for a clean setup.
Quick answer
For most TV cable runs, a 45mm TV module paired with a compatible Euro plate or standard wall plate is the cleanest solution. The 45mm opening fits common coaxial, HDMI, and audio cables, and the solid metal plate matches your existing Buster + Punch switches and sockets.
What is a TV module wall plate?
A TV module wall plate is a wall plate with a cutout that accepts a snap-in module insert. Instead of running cables through a hole in the drywall, you terminate them at a tidy wall plate that hides the connection point. The module itself (often a 45mm insert) holds the cable connector and keeps everything flush against the wall.
Buster + Punch offers a TV MODULE / 45 MM that fits their Electricity Plates. It is made from sturdy plastic and comes in black or white finishes. The module is designed to work with a 45mm opening in the wall plate, so you need to match the plate to that size.
What size TV module wall plate do I need?
The size of the wall plate itself (1G, 2G, etc.) depends on how many modules you need. A single TV cable usually requires one 45mm module, so a 1G (single-gang) plate is sufficient. If you also want to run Ethernet or speaker wires, you can use a 2G plate with two 45mm modules.
The module diameter is the critical measurement. Buster + Punch's TV MODULE / 45 MM is designed for a 45mm opening. Their 25mm Euro Plates accept only 25mm module inserts, so they are not compatible with the 45mm TV module. Always check the module size before buying the plate.
Can I use a blank wall plate for TV cables?
A blank wall plate (like the 1G WALL PLATE / BLANK) is meant to cover an unused junction box or hide a connection point where no switch or socket is needed. It has no cutout, so you cannot pass a cable through it. For TV cables, you need a plate with a module opening.
That said, a blank plate can be useful if you want to hide a power outlet behind the TV and run cables through a separate brush plate or grommet. But for a single cable pass-through, a module plate is the cleaner solution.
FAQ: TV Module Wall Plate Sizing

- Buster + Punch offers a TV MODULE / 45 MM that fits a 45mm opening. It is available in black or white plastic. Stick with 45mm modules for TV cables.
- Can I use a Euro plate for a TV module?

- Do I need a 1G or 2G wall plate?

If you need to cover an unused outlet or junction box near your TV, this blank plate provides a seamless metal cover that matches your other Buster + Punch hardware. It does not accept modules, so it is not for cable pass-through.
- 1G 25MM EURO PLATE / 1 MODULE: 25mm Euro Plates made from solid metal and finished with our signature solid metal coin screw caps. Euro Plates can be fitted with 50mm module inserts to suit all your electrical, data, sound & AV needs. Compatible with 25mm module inserts only. Not compatible with 22.5, 45mm or 50mm module inserts. These Euro plates are designed for 25mm modules, not the 45mm TV module.
