The Ergotron 97-101-003 Aluminum Wall Mount Plate provides additional support when installing compatible Ergotron monitor arms or pivots on vertical surfaces. Its sturdy aluminum construction distributes the mounting load across a larger area, helping create a more stable mounting foundation for supported workstation configurations.
This wall plate is designed for use with selected Ergotron mounting systems, including compatible LX, 400 Series, 300 Series, 200 Series and 100 Series mounts. It is particularly useful when a mounting arm needs additional support on a steel-stud wall.

Compatibility and Installation
The 97-101-003 is intended for compatible Ergotron mounting systems where a wall plate is appropriate for the installation. Verify the specific arm or pivot model before purchasing, as this plate is not compatible with HD Series arms.
Wall fasteners are not included. The appropriate fasteners must be selected for the wall construction and mounting application. For installations involving steel studs or hollow walls, consult a qualified installer to ensure the complete mounting system is adequately supported.
