Modular Mounting Strap Insert 2-Port Decorator Style White Flush Mount · Eaton 5522-5EW

What this product is for

This 2-port decorator-style modular mounting strap insert is used to mount low-voltage communication connectors in a decorator wallplate opening. It is suited to structured cabling, voice, data, and similar flush-mount terminations where a clean finished wallplate appearance is required.

Use for

Use for 2-port data or communication outlet locations, retrofit wallplate updates, and new residential or commercial low-voltage rough-ins. It is commonly selected where electricians or low-voltage installers want a standard decorator opening with modular jack flexibility.

Avoid for

Avoid using this as a line-voltage wiring device or where a complete jack, connector, or wallplate is required but not included. Confirm compatibility with the intended modular inserts before ordering.

Best for

Best for structured cabling terminations that need two communication ports in a decorator-style wallplate format. Also useful when matching existing white device trim in finished spaces.

Installed in

Typically installed in standard wall boxes or low-voltage mounting brackets behind decorator wallplates in homes, offices, retail spaces, and light commercial areas.

Why this product exists

It provides a simple way to adapt a decorator wallplate opening for modular communication ports instead of using a dedicated one-piece plate. This helps standardize trim appearance across mixed power and data device locations.

Compared with similar products

Compared with single-port inserts, this 2-port version supports two terminations in one decorator opening. Compared with complete loaded wallplates, it gives more flexibility because installers can choose the required modular jacks separately.
