Review on ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ ECHOGEAR In-Wall TV & Soundbar Power Kit: Conceal Cables Behind Your Wall with Low Voltage Cable Management for a Neat Setup (HDMI, Optical, etc.) by Besim Kahsar

Revainrating 1 out of 5

CHOOSE ANOTHER KIT. Clever instructions, but only for ideal installation conditions.

I've installed outlets, lights, appliances, hardwood floors, tiles, etc., repaired electronics and plumbing, worked on major construction projects and small DIY projects. This is by far the worst set I have ever used. The male and female ends of the connector are made large to snap into the wall plate, but this makes it impossible for them to go through the wall if there are any pipes or cross braces. The ends of the cables had to be left unconnected (or a box provided at the soundbar's connection point) so that the ends could be accessed and routed through the wall. Heck, my hand reached out and held out the connector heads - and I had a fish tape! In doing so, I damaged the soundbar's panel, but the holes were already cut, so I completed the installation. They'll ask for a refund, but they'll want me to rip it out of the wall to ship it back. 3 hours wasted. tsk It would be much easier if the kit was designed for less than perfect installation conditions (pipes, spacers, etc.).

Pros
  • Hide all power, video and audio cables in front of your TV and soundbar with this DIY wall mount cable management kit. In-wall power cords keep your devices safe and compliant.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
