USB Recessed Media Outlet Box - Low Profile In-Wall Cable Management

In this review the DATA COMM USB Recessed Media Outlet Box is presented as a practical solution for tidying wall-mounted TV installations; its single biggest selling point is the combination of a low profile that fits behind the thinnest mounts and an oversized cable pass-through that holds many connections. The author tested fit and basic functionality and found it particularly useful for anyone who wants to hide power and charging points behind a display while maintaining easy access to two high-current USB ports and a standard duplex outlet for TV power.

Key Features

• Low profile design: Sits flush behind very thin TV mounts so the install looks neat and avoids gaps behind modern displays.
• Large cable pass-through: The oversized opening holds up to 15 low-voltage cables, making it much easier to route HDMI, AV and other leads without cramming.
• Duplex receptacle: A built-in 15 amp/125 volt duplex outlet supplies reliable power to the TV and a streaming device from one compact module.
• Dual 4.0 amp USB ports: Two USB charging ports deliver a combined 4.0 amps, allowing tablets and phones to be charged directly at the display location.
• Secure mounting wings: Integrated wings lock into drywall as you tighten, removing the need for separate low-voltage brackets and speeding installation.

Who It's For

This product is aimed at homeowners, installers and DIYers mounting modern thin TVs who want a clean, professional look and consolidated power and USB charging behind the screen. It is particularly helpful when multiple low-voltage runs need to be managed and kept out of sight.

Those who should look elsewhere include anyone requiring a very small, standard 2x opening replacement or users who need integrated HDMI switching - this unit is focused on power, USB charging and large cable routing rather than additional AV electronics.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Low profile form fits behind thin mounts for a seamless installation.
• Large pass-through accommodates up to 15 low-voltage cables for tidy cable management.
• Built-in 15 amp duplex outlet plus dual 4.0 amp USB ports consolidates power and charging in one location.
• Mounting wings simplify installation and provide a secure fit in drywall.

Cons

• Size and shape are larger than a standard 2x electrical box, so it will not replace every existing opening without modification.
• Does not include additional AV connectors or HDMI management; it is a power and pass-through box only.

Specifications

Our Verdict

It delivers clear value through its large cable opening, reliable duplex outlet and useful USB charging, though buyers should confirm the box dimensions fit their opening since it is larger than a standard 2x plate.
