Product Information
Full details
The Eagle AV Wall Face Plate is designed for users needing streamlined AV connectivity in home, office, or educational settings. Its key benefit is providing easy access to USB-C ports for modern devices like laptops, smartphones, and projectors directly from a wall outlet. A minor consideration is its compatibility solely with single-gang wall boxes. This face plate offers a clean, integrated solution for multimedia setups with its two USB-C through connectors, simplifying cable management and enhancing presentation readiness.

FAQs
What type of devices can I connect to this face plate?
You can connect any device with a USB-C port, such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, and projectors, for data transfer, charging, or display output, provided the device supports these functions via USB-C.
Does this face plate provide power itself, or does it pass through power?
This face plate acts as a through connector, allowing power to pass from your existing wall outlet (if connected to a power source) or from a device's charger to your connected USB-C device. It does not generate its own power.
Can I connect a display via this face plate?
If your connected device (e.g., laptop) supports video output over USB-C (like DisplayPort Alternate Mode), and you have a USB-C to HDMI/DisplayPort adapter or cable, you can use this face plate to connect to a monitor or projector. The face plate itself does not convert video signals.
What is the difference between a 'through connector' and a standard port?
A through connector in this context means it's a direct pass-through. A cable connects from the back of the face plate to a terminal block or another port, and the front port allows connection to your device. It's designed for easy access without needing to reach behind the wall.
Is this product compatible with standard US electrical boxes?
Yes, it is designed for compatibility with standard single-gang electrical wall boxes commonly found in North America.
Does it support fast charging for smartphones?
It supports fast charging if the connected USB-C cable, the power source behind the wall (if applicable), and your smartphone all support the necessary fast charging protocols (e.g., USB Power Delivery). The face plate itself facilitates the connection.
Troubleshooting
Device not recognized after connecting to the face plate.
Verify that the USB-C cable is fully inserted into both the device and the face plate's port. Ensure the connected device supports USB-C connectivity for the intended function (data, charging, display). Check that the wall box is properly wired if the faceplate includes any powered functionality (though this model focuses on pass-through).
Slow data transfer speeds or charging.
Confirm that the USB-C cables being used are rated for the desired speed and power delivery. Older or lower-quality cables may limit performance. Ensure the connected device and the source it's plugged into can support higher speeds/charging.
Face plate is loose on the wall.
Tighten the screws securing the face plate to the wall box. Ensure the wall box itself is securely mounted within the wall.
