    Hey all. Wondering if anyone knows anywhere in Dublin that could provide me with a single socket sized Cat6 wall plate with 3 ports?

    I ran 3 cat6’s to each room of my house (only really needed 1) and initially just ran them into a single socket sized plaster board box as I thought I’d only ever use 2 and was going to just leave the 3rd unused cat6 cable buried in the wall. I still have no use for the 3rd one yet in any room but I’d like to terminate all 3 and not have to use a double plate. I’m in no humour to cut the plasterboard for double boxes.

    Example of what I’m looking for below.

    Do you need 3 different ports?
    If you put a network switch in somewhere, the switch will do this for you.

    Another option is to use keystones. Nexxia in the UK supply faceplates that take 4 keystones. I've used there double/8 way face plates. You do need a good deep back box though.
