> 3 daySaves a ton of time from not having to find an adjacent outlet and fish wire to it, shut off a breaker, hope you have enough room in the old outlet box if you can even get into it, and having to source a wall plate, work box and outlet. The job of installing an outlet for a TV went from 1-2 hours to 20 minutes. Saves major time and gives a clean result. If your walls use anything smaller than 2x4 studs such as 2x3 it can be a tight fit but will fit. Also, as on some TVs, if your power cord uses a right angle plug, youll need a pigtail as this is recessed and the plug wont fit. Search for power cord extension and you can get one for five bucks. Better looking and better functionality than having a bunched up extension cord behind the TV.

> 3 dayPros: - Ability to add an outlet behind the TV without having to run a branch circuit. - Bundles all cables and wires needed for your entertainment system in the wall. Cons: - Outlet is just as difficult to install as a dedicated branch circuit, especially in insulated walls. - Wiring is stiff and too long for jobs where outlets are under 6 apart. - One shot deal - if you have to take out and rewire later, more than likely you will break the tabs that hold the outlet in the wall. - Samsung TV plugs do not fit the single outlet version. You must use the two receptacle version for proper fit, and then it will be a one-plug outlet because the TV plug will block the second receptacle. - EXPENSIVE. Tools Needed: - Tape Measure - Small level - Sheetrock saw - 6-foot glo-rod (for insulated walls) or Fish Tape. - Phillips and Flat head screw driver. Wiring this in took about two hours, with most of that spent trying to fish wires through an insulated wall. After the cuts were made, the first in was the top receptacle. Then I fished the TV cables up through the wall and fed them through the receptacle opening. After securing the top receptacle, I connected the power cables and began feeding the TV cables through the lower receptacle. It was difficult to push the lower receptacle in without bending and doubling over the power cable inside the wall. This in turn flattened and compressed the insulation, lessening its ability to insulate the wall cavity. Connections made, cables in, receptacle screwed in and plugged up and everything works as advertised. This is a great idea and will save a lot of DIYers who dont know anything about wiring a home a lot of time and a little frustration. However, knowing what I know now, if I had it to do over again, I would have wired a branch circuit myself and spent the money to get proper HDMI, Tos-Link, RG6, and Ethernet outlets/jack installed to make it look like a pro-installation.

> 3 dayThis is the third time i have installed a power box for a flat screen tv. The product was very well constructed and the design is very eye pleasing. The template that came with the unit was a perfect fit there was not need to trim again after cutting the outline of the box. In previous attempts i have had to cut or trim more of the size for the actual box verses the template when using other brands. I am very well pleased with the power cord connector as it is made very sturdy with a very tight fit. All in all this is the perfect power and cord box for any Tv installation.

> 3 dayVery easy to install, just take your time, use the templates provided, and tighten the screws slowly. Stop tightening the screws once the boxes tighten against the wall.

> 3 dayI have read multiple comments about this product before purchasing it. I read comments to get an understanding of the issue folks went through when installing and using this particular power bridge system. I would encourage you to read the both low and high ratings. I have purchased this product several times for myself and friends. I find this power bridge system to be easy to install and certainly works as advertised. In my basement I have a pool table and wanted to be able to view multiple televisions in multiple locations. One wall had the mechanical room behind it which contained the Verizon FiOS TV cable connections and the other wall had the basement den behind it. I wanted to mount two TVs on each wall. I used the PowerBridge ONE-CK Recessed In-Wall Cable Management System on other wall. I mapped out the location on the wall where the TV would be mounted. In my case I used the wall templates that was provided and cut the top hole facing the pool table and the bottom hole in the den area. I have a stand in the den area that I used to cover the bottom wall plate. I mounted the TVs and it just looks so awesome. I used a wireless hdmi video kit to show the same image on both TVs. The bottom line is I wouldn’t have been able to do that without the PowerBridge ONE-CK Recessed In-Wall Cable Management System. It looks amazing and whenever my wife and I entertain one of the questions always asked is how you are able to show the same thing on both TVs with nothing visible except the TVs on the wall.

> 3 dayI love the simplicity of the product. A template to cut for both outlets and easy flexible connectors which snap together to tie the two outlets together. Complete!
