    Concealed wiring wallplates

    I have recently enquired about B&O wallplates that fit on skirtingboards. I am looking for ones with Powerlink, 240v power and Masterlink. I have seen them in use in my local showroom and they manage to cover most of the cabling behind the skirting. I thought it would be a simple matter of ordering the ones I wanted but it seems it is not that simple. The ones in the catologue do not match the wall plates we use here in Australia (HPM or Clipsal being the mst common). I am guessing they match the standard Danish wallplates. It is interesting because the ones that are in the Sydney showroom do match HPM wallplates, yet are different from the ones in the accessories listing from B&O!

    Does anyone know if these accessories are different for each country or whether they clip into a standard HPM wall plate? Could you please let me know how you buy them. Are they modular or made up by B&O on order?

    Patrick,

    If you ever find these drop me a line. I do think B&O got them made years ago.  One of the Syndey installers is probably your best bet. Forgot his name....

    Radio parts sell the female din connector, so do bosscom. You can get a clipsal slimline or standard wall plate with a punchout that fits.  Some electricians modify or supply unusual wall plates.  Tivoli HiFi or Carlton Audio have access to some usefull stuff. Masterlink fits an old AT&T socket so the bosscom female masterlink connector fits in.

    Hope this is some help.

    My place is overrun with B&O cables...

    Cheers, Beoaus.

    Paddy, I think the stores have them made up to order. You could make your own for ML and PowerLink. Buy a blank HPM or Clipsal plate and start drilling and filing. I wouldn't recommend placing 240v outlet on the same plate though, I'd aim to keep a 10 cm separation, and have the two plates (twin-gang 240V switched and ML--PL) horizontally side by side.
