A Shagadelic Cable Management Kit

Some cable management kits leave you hanging out to dry like yesterday’s laundry. They don’t come with a cutting template or saw. Some even require you to do the wiring. Yikes. One false move and you’ll catch a jolt that’ll leave your hair looking like Doc Brown. We’re looking out for you, so everything you need is in the box, and no wiring is required.

Most install manuals are more confusing than the movie Raising Arizona. We make our instructions simple to understand and even toss in a few jokes. You’ll be able to set up this in-wall cable management kit in under 30 minutes. A half-hour in exchange for a lifetime of kickin’ it cable-free? What more could you ask for?

So…How Do you Install It?

The first thing to do is decide where you want the in-wall boxes to be. There can be up to 6′ between the top and bottom boxes. If you’re using the included extension cord, make sure you’re less than 6′ from an outlet. Can’t get that close? Any 3-prong extension cord will work, so raid your Christmas decoration box for a spare cable.

Now slap the template on the wall so you’ll know exactly where to cut & won’t jack up the wall. Here’s the fun part, grab the drywall saw and get after it. For safety, I like to test saw blade sharpness by using it to open up a bag of America’s favorite finger hat, Bugles. Now that you’re 3/4 of the way into those Bugles, use the template to cut perfectly shaped holes in the wall.

Next, you’ll run all the cables through the wall connecting them from the top to the bottom box. Finally, connect the wall plates to the wall with a screwdriver & bam, you’re done.

Flush Finish

Some in wall cable hiding kits make you connect to existing wall brackets. That’s a one-way ticket to a halfass finish. Using the wall brackets in the box gives you 2 advantages. First, you can put each box exactly where you want it. Second, you’ll get a picture-perfect finish, every time. High five yourself, and head to the fridge for some well-earned refreshment. Pour me a cup of that purple stuff.
