Summary: 5 Stars
I mounted one of these in my wall so I could have power, TV, and gigabit ethernet right there in the bedroom. It's behind a large bureau, and the minimum clearance is now only the thickness of the fattest cable. Normally, a TV coax cable would need at least 2 or 3 inches because the connector sticks out so far, a power plug would need at least 1 inch (even a right angle plug), and the ethernet needs at least an inch so that the delicate cable doesn't get pinched and damaged in a tight 90 degree bend. Now the bureau is snugged right up against the wall as far as the baseboard will allow - maybe 1/2".
This thing works beautifully. I installed it where I used to just have a simple standard duplex power outlet. It has diagonal screw holes to allow you to fasten it to a wall stud, and other hardware to pull the box forward until it's flush.
The only thing I would caution you about is that this thing is pretty darn deep. I got lucky in that my wall has enough depth to accommodate it, but I highly recommend measuring your available depth before cutting. Otherwise, you might be very very sorry. Especially since the required cut-out hole is much bigger than a standard double-gang outlet box. One nice thing about this is that it allowed me to get my small-but-powerful Milwaukee 2401-22 12-Volt Li-Ion Compact Driver Kit in there to drill a pilot hole through the 2x4 and floorboard into the basement. Otherwise, I would have been drilling blindly upwards into my house with a 3/4" bit to route the cables. And I would have totally gotten it wrong. Ouch!
Add two decora-style accessories to this and you're good to go. I chose a 2-plug power outlet and a Decora Type Keystone Insert 2 Ports White (but they're available in up to 6 Model ADCWP6W 6 port Keystone Decora Style Insert Strap, white). I'm about to order 2 or maybe even 3 more of these for the rest of the bedrooms and living room. Great product!
