Why not just use two pass thru boxes with a short cable between? Avoid crimping.
These things: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002JP92K8/ref=redir_mdp_mobile snap into covers that fit standard boxes.
Stupid.

fulldisclosure, I haven't tried any.
have a look on youtube, it's not hard at all. I'd be inclined to use the keystones suggested above (link)
> Oh I see so I should just wire it to the top location and add a switch instead of having both locations wired?
No, the switch isn't necessary unless you plan on having multiple devices in that specific location connected at the same time. Since what you are actually doing is just trying to connect the TV but want an option to connect it depending on where it's placed, you could have both locations wired, that would be better than the switch, but also not necessary.
From another comment you made, it seems like you plan on using the lower location first, and then the higher location afterward as you plan to mount the TV later. It also seems like you already have the wiring run, but you are open to the idea of having an additional wire ran, is that the case? If the wiring is already run, does that mean it's not long enough to reach to the top location? Is your server room in your basement going to be finished with drywall or unfinished? Is it directly below this area pictured? Depending on the answers to these questions, it changes the options available.
Since the way you intend to use this is that it's not just a simple one or the other, but actually both just at different times (lower first and upper later), if the wiring is already run and it's not long enough to reach the upper location, you could just add a shorter cat6 run through the conduit and use a coupler to combine the cat6 lines together when you end up mounting the TV up high. (Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Intellinet-Female-CAT-6-Keystone-Coupler/dp/B002JP92K8 ) Also if your low voltage contractor is still involved, if they just terminate that end at the bottom with a cat6 keystone (basically just a wall jack), then you don't even need the coupler. You could just use a standard cat6 patch cable of enough length and feed it through the conduit and plug it into the keystone, just shove the keystone into the box behind the wall cover plate.
He has keystones that use rj45 connections in the back like this one
