charles i agree but i think they are the round covers shown in his pictures. a round face plate on the 4 square box
Data pathways and speaker wires.
I used 3/4" ENT (electrical non-metallic tubing) for my data stuff. It is not bad to pull through as long as you keep to long smooth sweeps when it comes to turns. My tightest curve is through the top plate since I am on the eave wall. It is still probably a 12" radius. Other curves in the path are more generous. You do not want to skimp on diameter or skip the appropriate connectors. Basically you want to design it to your use case. I used 3/4" expecting to run a CAT-6 and a Coax in one tube. We are pulling that today so I can report back later ;-)What is the flex tubing you're using for data? Not sure I've seen that before.. also curious how it is to pull through.
I can assure you that all of the low voltage nerds will be very disappointed in you if you do not. If for no other reason that the exposed cable is subject to some hazard, whereas in wall is safer. Some flap down dust covers (or.. I look forward to what else you find for this ) wouldn't be a terrible idea either..I will probably terminate them on wall plates.
The speakers installation is to boost the machines noise to enhance the workshop environment? Obvioulsy just kidding Glenn...More mundane stuff for your viewing pleasure.
