Cable Protection Plate 2709

The Raco 2709 plate shields nonmetallic sheathed cable or raceway wires passing through wood studs, joists or rafters from accidental nail, screw or drill penetration. It suits electricians and builders running cable through structural wood members in residential or light commercial work.

Tool-free installation

No nails are required to mount the plate, so it can be positioned quickly over single or two-gang boxes. The galvanised steel and malleable iron construction resists deformation during handling, but the thin .0625 in. depth means it adds minimal profile behind finished surfaces.

Compact coverage for standard boxes

At 2.56 in. long by 1.5 in. wide the plate covers the cable entry area of common single and two-gang boxes. It stops puncture damage where wiring crosses framing members, yet it does not extend far enough to protect longer cable runs between boxes.

Highlights

  • Protects cables from nail or drill damage

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 2709 plate is seated correctly after pressing it into the stud cavity?

The plate sits flush when its 2.56 in. length and 1.5 in. width fully cover the cable run and the .0625 in. depth leaves no gap against the wood surface.

What comes in the package and what must I supply for mounting the 2709 plate?

The package contains the silver galvanized steel and malleable iron plate only; no nails or fasteners are included because the design requires no nails for installation.

Which version of the 2709 plate should I choose for a single-gang versus a two-gang box?

The same 2709 plate is listed for use with both single and two gang boxes, so one version covers either application.
