a/c? alternating current? no…

You should not run AC that close to data… for alot of reasons. Also, the building inspector (in Amherst at least) doesn’t like them within 4" of each other.

If you really insist on doing it: 2gang box. AC one side, data the other.

you cant run A/C with anything near telecom without a barrier between which still isnt the best. You can check out Graybar in Cheektowaga. We get all our stuff from there for cabling.

achm Rexel not graybar!

Anyhow no there is no such thing because it is illegal to have those two voltages in the same box without a divider. What your best be is to place a box with your ac on one stud, and on the other stud in the same wall gap place your low voltage box. Then you can get a keystone plate that will take Coax, Newtork audio video whatever you want to snap in.

Yeah, I am one of the sales reps.

a keystone plate is a wallplate with cutouts in it that you can snap any combination of jacks into.

I’ve used alot of their parts in the past. Not the best, but not the worst either.
