Ron,
Glad to be of some help in this matter. The inside wall plate is a
more recent addition to his product line. I'm going through the wall
into an unfinished basement, then through the floor to the room just
above, so no real need to dress up the inside.
I think you will be pleased with the box. There are a bunch of ways
to get cable from outside to inside, but if you are building a new
house, might as well spend a few bucks and make it nice.
