I was kind of looking at Impact Acoustics. They have keystone jacks and whatnot.

They aren't keystone insterts, the wallplate is molded for the 5 speaker terminals.




I think I wasn't clear. Most connectors on wall plates are held in place from behind with a large inner diameter nut and washer. If this is the case with your 5 pair banana wall plate, I could remove two of the bananas and (hopefully) replace them with two RCA connectors similarly harvested from a couple RCA keystone inserts or an RCA wall plate, whichever is cheaper.

For $20 shipped, I'll know for sure. I think I'll take the chance...

I could take an up-close pic of it when I get time this weekend with the face plate off of it so you can see the connectors. let me know.

Edit: I just thought about it, they are a hexagon shape (probably a nut) behind the binding posts on the front and back, this could be what you are talking about.

Actually, that's a question. Those RCA keystones--are there RCA plugs on front and back? So, say, for example, if I wanted to put one faceplate on one side of a wall, and the corresponding faceplate on the other side of the wall, I could just use a short length of RCA ended cable to connect them?

Yep, exactly. They'd be hex or octagon shaped nuts that thread around the entire connector. They are very thin and tighten up very close against the back of the faceplate. On the front, there's what looks like a similar nut, but its molded into the metal of the connector and fits into a hex/oct countersink to prevent the connector from spinning while tightening the nut on the back.

Boy, I need to leave the technical writing to the technical writers.

Awesome. I just found one of the parts of the puzzle. RCA to F connector with the little retainer nut.

RCA to F Connector

Doing the happy dance!
