Abstract
A mounting plate for securing a telecommunications wall outlet to a wall panel; a method of installing a telecommunications wall outlet; and an assembly of a telecommunications wall outlet, a mounting plate and a wall panel. The mounting plate has a planar element having ends and sides which surround an aperture through the planar element. Each end of the planar element provides at least one bendable tab for securing the mounting plate to a wall panel and also means for attaachment of a faceplate of a telecommunications outlet. The mounting plate is installed through an aperture cut in a wall panel which corresponds to the aperture through the mounting plate. The planar element is secured against the inner surface of the wall panel by the bendable tabs at each end of the planar element.
