Transform your home entertainment setup with Perlegear media boxes, the ultimate solution for concealing cables and devices behind your wall-mounted TV. This category features two standout models: the compact 9″ in-wall media box and the spacious 17″ version, both designed as recessed electrical outlets and enclosures ideal for One Connect boxes, network switches, and more. Each comes complete with a cable management kit, cutting template, dust bag, and drywall saw, making professional-grade installations accessible for DIY enthusiasts.
Why Choose Perlegear Media Boxes?
Perlegear stands out in the world of AV accessories for its commitment to quality construction and user-friendly design. These media boxes are built from durable, low-profile materials that blend seamlessly into drywall, ensuring a clean, modern look without bulky wall plates.

Key Features of Perlegear In-Wall Media Boxes
When shopping for recessed media enclosures, focus on these essential attributes that Perlegear delivers consistently:
- Sizes for Every Setup: The 9″ model suits smaller spaces like bedroom TVs, while the 17″ accommodates bulkier gear such as multiple HDMI switches or streaming devices.
- Complete Installation Kit: Includes a reusable cutting template for perfect cuts, a dust bag to keep your workspace clean, and a drywall saw for effortless opening.
- Cable Management: Built-in grommets and brush plates allow cables to pass through discreetly without gaps.
- Versatile Compatibility: Works with Samsung One Connect boxes, AV receivers, Ethernet switches, and power adapters.
- Low-Profile Design: Recessed depth minimizes protrusion, ideal for slim TVs.
These features make Perlegear a top pick for anyone tackling home theater upgrades within the broader Electrical category.
Comparing the 9″ and 17″ Perlegear Media Boxes
Selecting the right size depends on your equipment footprint. The 9″ box measures roughly 9 inches wide, perfect for single-device hides like a One Connect or small switch—ideal for minimalist setups. It offers ample depth for standard cables but keeps the cutout compact, reducing drywall work.
In contrast, the 17″ model provides double the width, fitting larger One Connect hubs or multiple components side-by-side. This extra space shines in family rooms or gaming areas where ventilation and access matter. Both share the same robust build and kit, but the larger version excels for future-proofing as your setup grows.

Common Use Cases and Installation Tips
Perlegear media boxes shine in scenarios demanding a wire-free appearance:
- Wall-Mounted TVs: Route HDMI, power, and Ethernet through the wall for floating shelf-free installs.
- Home Theaters: Enclose soundbar remotes, streaming boxes, and amplifiers.
- Office or Gaming Stations: Hide network gear behind monitors.
For installation, use the included template to mark your cutout precisely between studs. The drywall saw makes quick work, and the dust bag contains mess. Secure with provided brackets, feed cables, and snap on the cover—most users complete it in under an hour. Always verify local codes in Tools & Home Improvement projects.
