Black Box WPT478

Overview

The Black Box WPT478 is a single-gang keystone wallplate designed to provide six neatly arranged ports for network connections. It serves as a clean and professional interface for data, voice, or specialty circuits, supporting a variety of keystone jacks including CAT6, CAT5e, CAT3, and USOC standards. Its rear-loading design allows secure terminations inside the wall box, making it ideal for environments where equipment security and a tidy appearance are important.

Connectivity and compatibility

This wallplate supports a wide range of keystone jacks, making it suitable for various network and communication setups. It works well with CAT6 jacks for high-speed data, CAT5e and CAT3 for legacy or voice applications, and USOC jacks for specialized circuits. This versatility allows it to fit into diverse environments such as offices, classrooms, hospitals, and retail spaces where multiple connection types may be needed.

Installation and setup

The rear-loading design simplifies installation by allowing technicians to secure and test keystone jacks inside the wall box before attaching the plate. This approach not only protects terminations from accidental disconnection or tampering but also results in a clean, flush finish once mounted. The included labeling system helps maintain organized and easily identifiable connections, which is especially useful in complex or shared network environments.

Ideal uses and environments

The WPT478 fits naturally in settings that require compact, secure, and clearly labeled network drops. It is well suited for workstation clusters, conference rooms, retail counters, and equipment racks where users need reliable access to multiple connections without clutter. Its tamper-resistant design and professional appearance make it a strong choice for shared spaces such as schools, hospitals, and open offices.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
