YACOCI Headphones Adapter 3.5mm Aux Jack Adapter for 2 in 1 Compatible Earphone Adaptor Chargers&Audio Connector Cable

These are absolutely essential if you want to wall mount your TV and hide the cables. I'm the average weekend warrior, and each one of these takes me about 30 minutes to do.These kits come with everything you need to wall mount.Tools needed:drywall sawscrewdriverfish tapeHDMI cables/whatever cables you want to hidea nearby outletThe directions are very straightforward and include pictures.Basically you trace around the cutout low on the wall within 6 feet of an outlet (doesn't matter if a stud is nearby or not - they're not needed). Use your drywall saw to cutout the holes. Do the same for the area where you want to wall mount your TV.WORD OF ADVICE: put up your TV wall mount FIRST, then find a place for this. I was able to fit this directly in the middle of my wall mount, which was perfect. You don't want to do this first and then try to place your mount, because depending on where the studs are, the mount may have to move.Once you cut out the holes, you install the single gang box. Fish the included romex wire and connect both the upper and lower outlets. Then fish your cables through the other hole. I use a receiver for my setup, so I only run one HDMI cable through the wall. You will need fish tape to run the cable unless your cable is very straight and you have tiny hands.Once you fish out your cables, you put up the plastic cover plates. Then plug in the lower outlet to a power source and you're done.It's that simple. And the romex is rated for in wall use, so no fire code violations.NOTE - if you run the power cord from your TV through the wall and attach to a nearby outlet, this violates fire code. If your house burns down, your insurance company WILL NOT PAY to replace your property. The power cords to TVs are not rated for in wall use. So the $50 is worth it. Plus, it looks far cleaner.What's left is a TV hung up on the wall that has no visible cables whatsoever. It looks fantastic.An electrician/handyman would charge upwards of $300 to do this. You can easily do this yourself for $50.I've done this about 6 times now. I'm happy to answer any questions/issues in the comments section.

Once you get over the fact that you're cutting big holes in your drywall, the installation goes pretty easily! The instructions are good and easy to follow. The materials were all there and installed as they should. Once it's installed it works great.Two small criticisms:1) The template is inaccurate, flimsy, and not marked as a template! I had to hog out the smaller hole because of the way the "hood" section sits in the hole. My template arrived ripped so I had to tape it back together. And if I hadn't read the reviews on Amazon beforehand I probably would have thrown the "template" away because it just looks like packaging.2) The depth of the recessed plug makes no sense. It's not deep enough to swallow the typical power cord plug, and it's not shallow enough to allow you to use a right angle power cord. It either needs to be deeper or shallower.

This product is very simple to install, although it does appear to have gone through a few versions, and the packaging, product, and website don't all seem to agree on which version they describe. It kind of has the feel of a company started in someone's garage, since the version you see online isn't quite the version you will receive. Luckily, the instructions are clear enough that you shouldn't have any problem figuring out the differences from the video tutorial. Also, the packaging says it doesn't come with Romex cable, but it IS included. The only things you'll need to install besides this kit are a drywall saw, screwdriver, wire strippers, and possibly a level and needle-nose pliers.To buy yourself the peace of mind of knowing you have met NEC coding requirements by not putting your TV's power cord behind the drywall, but to avoid the cost of hiring an electrician to move an outlet, this is a good option. The other bonus is that unlike with a high outlet, this product allows you to plug your TV into it, then plug this into a surge protector.One feature I like is that the faceplate is forgiving. I found a rogue stud (cloaked from my studfinder) protruding into one of the cutouts I made, about a full 1/2 inch in the way, preventing me from being able to insert the blue electrical box. Luckily, I was able to take a wood file and just file both holes wider by 1/2 inch in the other direction, and the faceplate covered my mistake.I give it four stars and not five for only one reason: there are two screws on the faceplate, but with the amount of torque the A/V cables can put on the other side, it makes it very difficult to keep it 100% level. A third screw hole on the far side might have been helpful. But if I had a second TV to mount in the future, I would probably buy this product again. If you save money by buying the great telescoping aluminum mount on Monoprice for a quarter of the price at the retail stores, you'll feel better about dropping the sixty bucks on this product. And retail stores' dweeb squads won't even run your power cord anyway, so just save that money too and do it with this.
