Abstract: A rough-in plate to facilitate installation of cabling, such as low voltage cables, the rough-in plate having two opposing surfaces, a sidewall, and a hollow bushing connected to one surface at a through hole through the two opposing surfaces. Inside the hollow bushing can be a cable clip to temporarily hold the cabling while wall finishes are installed around the bushing of the rough-in plate. The rough-in plate is connected to a piece of framing by fastening one surface and the sidewall to the piece of framing so that the bushing projects perpendicularly to the wall finish when the wall finish is installed.
