Legrand - OnQ Cable Management, In-Wall Media Box, Dual Purpose Structured Wiring Enclosure with Mounting Bracket, Home Networking Panel, 17 inch, White, ENP1705NAV1

Great, easy to install. I’m usually not a fan of plastic, but this box is sturdy and well priced. Install took about 30 minutes.

The mounting bracket is the coolest thing about this case. It snaps into the trim on 2 sides. When only 1 side is attached, it works like a door hinge, allowing the bracket to swing out. This makes it easy to organize wiring behind the bracket (after you've mounted devices on the bracket). This feature is probably overlooked but i found it extremely useful and highly innovative.

Bought this the hold the box for my Samsung frame TV and to hide it and my apple TV in my living room. I'm very pleased with how well this fits everything and how seamlessly it hides all the equipment in a main living space. Very happy with the size and quality

I'm building a new house and wanted to recess AV boxes behind the TVs for things like an outlet strip and small set-top boxes like Roku or AppleTV, etc. This box from Legrand (also sold under the Sanus brand - model SA-IWB17-W1) seemed to be a decent option. However, it may take a bit of DIY modifications to align an electrical box with the pre-drilled screw holes in the plastic and to make it a bit more secure when mounted to studs behind the drywall.First some dimensions for those that need precise measurements. The outside box measurements are 14 3/8" wide by 17" tall. The inside dimensions are 14 3/16" x 16 3/8" x 3 1/2" deep. However, there is a bit of play in the walls. The center area of the walls probably could flex out about 1/4" without issue.The box is secured to studs in most applications. The box has 2 sets of plastic 'ears' on each side with a pre-drilled slot for drywall screws to go into the stud (see image). The problem is that in some cases you will only be able to secure one side of this box to studs that are 16" on-center (because it is 14 3/8" wide) since it is not uncommon for spacing of studs to not be so precise. It has some "old-work" screw down clamps to secure against drywall but I wouldn't rely exclusively on them. This will need to be secured to at least one stud. You may need to use some shims on one side depending on the placement of your studs like I did. Then it could be well secured on both sides of the box to studs.The other problem is finding a standard electrical box that fits the pre-drilled holes. Unless you want to pay over $30 for the Legrand solution (model 36456902V1), you may have to adjust the wings on your electrical box to make it long enough to align to the predrilled holes for electrical boxes. I just wanted to install a typical household 15amp outlet and put a quality surge strip in the recessed AV box. I went to the big box hardware store (blue one) and picked up a RACO 1-Gang Gray Metal New Work/Old Work Deep Electrical Box Model #8590. That matched up closest with the pre-drilled hole pattern. However, I still needed to modify the electrical box slightly. The problem isn't a left/right issue to align the holes that could be solved by just drilling a different hole in the plastic. The problem is that the ear holes on electrical boxes aren't long enough and the screws wouldn't even hit the plastic frame after you cut the electrical box knock-out.The metal electrical box has ears that attach with screws (see image). If you use standard #8 washers to gap the ears a bit more on both sides, the holes line up perfectly. While you are out, pick up some #6 self-tapping 1/2" pan screws to secure the electrical box to the frame in those pre-drilled holes you just aligned. Also, you may also want to pick up the 2" Legrand grommets (Model #AC1034) for the knockout holes for low voltage wiring; especially if you are recessing this against an exterior wall. These are also available at the blue big box store website.One last note about this box: in the attached images, I placed the electrical box on the bottom of the Legrand box to show the hole alignment. When you install the electrical box, you will drop it in from the inside of the box. I just did this to show the hole alignment best in a picture.If you are looking specifically for a metal recessed AV box or just need something more substantial for whatever reason (mounting above a fireplace, minimum depth clearances, housing something heavy, etc.), you may want to check out the FSR PWB (Project Wall Boxes) line of products like the PWB 320 and PWB 323. I'm putting in a linear fireplace with a TV above it. I am using vent kit that allows for mounting a TV right above it but the depth of the recessed box can be no more than 3". This Legrand box is 3.5". I picked up the metal PWB-323-ESK and it is way more substantial and versatile than the Legrand box...but it's also twice the price.

I had my modem and wifi router laying near the wall and it was pretty ugly. Once one of my cats chewed on power cable for wifi router, I decided that it is a time for action and that's how I found this enclosure.I actually ordered a different enclosure first, but that other one was massive and my wife didn't like it at all. This enclosure is much slimer and when you look from the side of the wall, that doesn't seem extend a lot past the wall.As you can see, I was doing retrofit, and I still need to pass through electrical wire to connect outlet for this box - which is a task I will focus on in near future. Other than electrical cable, retrofit install was super easy to accomplish. Distance between my studs was probably 1/4 in wider than the box, but inserts that I screwed to studs allowed for that extra space, so there was no need to shim anything.There are inserts that you can use to attach this box to the drywall. I ended up not using them, and now I actually plan to shift my box a bit deeper in the wall, so that inside space is a bit bigger - this google nest wifi barely fits in the box because of its size.

Used this inwall for our Samsung Frame 55" One Connect box. Worked perfectly! We had it professionally installed and was 100% worth the purchase! Also the price was $30 cheaper than Best Buy!!

I upgraded my 20 year old 12x12 with this.Installation wasn’t too bad.The problem is there’s basically no instructions, at least nothing useful, but so many bags of random screws and other parts.I wasn’t able to use the rack thing or screws because there was just a few fasteners but no instructions.It also wasn’t compatible with most outlet boxes I tried. Eventually I found one that worked but the screw holes didn’t quite line up.There’s also a huge piece of thermal tape covering all the knockouts on the top or bottom that I wasn’t able to take off. Very odd.I like the vent holes, it would be great if they were more elsewhere instead of the front panel because I was hoping the front door would hide the contents & the lights from the components inside.

I have installed two with Samsung The Frame TVs, and they are a great choice to store the OneBox, plus additional devices, and hide all the cables.The mounting bracket is great for cable management, and fit the Apple TV on top.Most importantly, it fits perfectly in between studs. Used this one on a new fireplace rough in (see pic), and a second one as a retrofit on existing drywall on top of a fireplace. Both fit like a glove and were easy to mount.It comes prepared to mount an electric outlet, and to connect conduit for extending cables. Make sure you have the outlet kit ready.
