Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box with Flange & Cover - Black

The Chief Proximity in-wall storage box simplifies flat panel installations by providing an organized, recessed space for routing excess cables and for attaching surge protectors. The addition of the flange adds an aesthetic trimmed appearance and drywall mounting capability. This storage box is dry. Designed for clean, professional AV installs, it helps you hide clutter, reduce heat buildup around power strips, and deliver a streamlined cabinet of cables that’s accessible when you need it while remaining out of sight when you don’t.

• Recessed cable management for clean installs: A dedicated, in-wall cavity gives you a discrete area to route HDMI, power, data, and speaker cables, keeping the wall and entertainment area free from visible wires.
• Surge protector mounting inside the box: Allows you to secure a surge protector or power strip within the enclosure, reducing cable tangling and keeping outlets concealed behind the display.
• Flange for a trim, drywall-friendly finish: The built-in flange creates a neat, professional edge that aligns with drywall surfaces, simplifying installation and delivering a polished look.
• Ideal for flat-panel and AV installations: Perfect behind wall-mounted TVs, projectors, or other wall-mounted gear where cable routing and accessibility are critical.
• Durable, low-profile black design: The black finish blends with most media furniture and wall colors while maintaining a low profile that doesn’t distract from the display.

• Step 6: Attach the flange to the wall, aligning it with the drywall to achieve a clean, finished edge. Secure the flange per the manufacturer’s instructions, then install the cover to conceal the internal components and cables.
