What are the low voltage metal squares that you but into sheetrock to connect your faceplate to called? I am trying to order some but cannot remember the name.
ARLINGTON LV-1 is another brand that works quite well. They call theirs a "low voltage mounting bracket", as above the most commom name is "mud ring". Before "mud" we called them "plaster rings". It comes in several flavors...
Caddy makes the MPLS but you may want to look at the AT&T
'AT-90' also. (Graybar carries both)
The difference:
the MPLS uses a dry wall screw to attach the 'backing ring' to the wall
the AT-90 uses adjustable 'clamps' that come with it.
You can also buy plastic ones and many places today, but I have noticed the screw holes for the faceplates are just a hair smaller and take a greater effort to mount the plate.
The ones that are put in when the walls are being built are normally called 'mud rings' and are put in by your electricans,in commerical applications they will attach a flex to it for the cabling to run into.
Good Luck,

you'll see that they are almost identical to the Arlington that Skip talks about.
