BEST ANSWER:Thank you for your question. These recessed wall plates would not require the use of a gang box or work ring. You would simply cut an opening to fit the dimensions of the box and when you tighten the screws of the wall plate, the plastic wing brackets will hold it to the dry wall. Just be sure the minimum wall thickness is at least .25".

Fantastic product. I will be using a lot more of these in the future
These are great for remodel jobs. There is ample space to run several wires through. I ran a optical cable, two thick gauge cl2 HDMIs, and a power cable with tons of room left over. The best part is you don't have to use a low voltage ring
I am using this for a slightly different purpose than originally designed, but it works well. I am using it to introduce bulk Ethernet cable to my COMM Closet and terminate those runs immediately after the cables exit the wall plate. I am using other items to run HDMI cables between my Theater Receiver and TV stand since both items are not co-located. I am running those down the wall into the basement and then back up behind the TV stand. They work perfectly for this purpose and makes for a professional look even though I am far from a professional. The only thing I am careful about based on what I had read elsewhere is not to over-tighten the screws that make the ears snug up the plate to the drywall. But then, frankly every electrical outlet "Remodel Box" has the exact same problem, so this is not unique to these wall-plates. Just tighten enough to keep the plate from sagging is good enough.
Took maybe half an hour to install 4 of these in my wall. Lots of room for wires and very easy to install with included cut out dims. The only trick is to cut the bottom hole last and guide all the wires out the hole and then through the wall plate. Finally, install the bottom plate with wires already fed through and you're done. Very slick and fast to install.
After trying several other cable wall plates, this is only one I found that fit the TV's power cable through it. The others only had openings large enough for HDMI, Optical, USB, etc.
In addition to fitting ALL the cables necessary for your TV to work, this wall plate is very solidly constructed, EASY to install, and looks professional and clean against the wall once complete.
After finishing the mount of my bedroom TV, I have just ordered 4 more to do the living room and a spare bedroom.
