I'm turning a spare bedroom in my house into an office, and it currently has a cable coax jack. I'm going to be feeding a long Cat6 cable behind it to another floor in my house, and due to the fact I have a wife, it needs to be done neatly. Is it possible to find or build a white faceplate that has one standard coax jack and one Cat6 port on it as well, that I could cut my existing cable, and wire into it? I've been doing some searching, but I'm not sure of what all I'd need.

Is it possible to buy the faceplate with two ports open, and add in the coax and RJ45, like a modular design or so? I'm clueless to these things.
 
Yup, your local hardware store should have just what you're looking for. If you'd rather order online, www.monoprice.com has what you're looking for on the cheap. Oh, and I'd suggest routing 2 CAT6/5e cables instead of 1. ;)

You'll probably want a Keystone modular wall plate with an RJ-45 keystone jack and an F Type keystone jack.

$0.34 - Wall Plate for Keystone, 4 Hole -White
$1.53 - Cat6 RJ-45 Tooless Keystone - White
$0.48 - Keystone Jack - Modular F Type White
$0.14 - Blank Insert For Wall Plate - White

Under $5, plus tax and shipping. Change color accordingly (they have tons of colors).

Oh, and you can get your cables there, too. :) I actually have all that, brand new, but its probably cheaper to get it from monoprice anyways, lol.

Just wanted to chime in that I've bought HDMI cables from Monoprice, and they were great. +1 for monoprice
 
I just placed my order with Monoprice...thanks! I picked up an additional HDMI cable and optical cbale I needed to rewire my home theater setup as well, all for some amazing prices.
 
Nice... post some pics if you can ;)

How's JUPITER's CPU running? :p
 
Ha ha, that's right, you would be very familiar with that CPU! She's been running like a champ in our server at home.
