Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I think I'll go with the low voltage gang bracket (I forgot about those!) and the simple plate with the hole in the middle. That should be just fine. This is already done and I plan to just poke a hole in the sheetrock behind the switch. This thread was...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I like the coax bushing, I had not heard of those before.
