Everything you need to wall mount your TV.

Includes everything you need to install a wall plug and TV socket. Keep in mind that there is no room in the box for the TV's power cord itself, which needs to be wrapped around the TV's mounting hardware. The TV cable can be pushed into the wall after connecting to the TV.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Good set!: Electrical

Used in the bedroom to hide the video cables in the wall. Has a good template for everything needed size. It's a bit of the size which bodes well for me to pull an old J-Box from his house from the last 40 years. The only thing I felt was missing was another socket for the opening on the high voltage junction box. I had to pull 3 cables through so maybe they still didn't fit. I recommend!

Pros
  • Handy part
Cons
  • A few cons

Screws for electrical boxes, wires and fittings broken

Both screws that are supposed to secure the socket came out with little to no effort. I used a manual screwdriver, not an electric one. When the first screw broke, I was extra careful with the second. I never felt it get stuck, but the head detached before nearing the exit port. As a professional electrician, this is the first time I've seen this on a box I've used. Very bad quality. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Pros
  • good
Cons
  • not sure

Ideal for wall mounted TVs

Required a double socket with a physical separation between the socket and the cable wires of the TV. That's what the "code" demands. This Arlington box was perfect and lived up to the bill. Home Depot sells a 2-speed box, but you can't get dividers. This is a good built-in socket. Comes with a template so you know exactly what size hole to cut in the wall. The only thing I didn't like (hence the 4 star rating) was that the screws securing the physical jack to the box were a little tricky to…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • So-so

The best product to install behind a wall mounted TV.

I have purchased several of these and they are exactly what the doctor ordered. I installed them behind our wall mounted TVs. This allows you to connect TV cables and bend them sufficiently in the niche. This gives you a double box where you can plug in both the electrical outlet and any other outlet you want. This will fit any decorative double faceplate. I have one with square keystone holes. Well, one side was the keystone and the other side was for the fork. The electrical plug can be…

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous
