Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box — 6-Receptacle Filter & Surge (Black)

The Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box PAC526FWP6 is engineered to simplify flat-panel installations by delivering a dedicated, recessed space for routing excess cables, power, and AV connections. Designed for clean, professional wall integration, this black dual-gang housing combines practical cable management with robust electrical protection, enabling you to mount displays, projectors, or digital signage without the clutter of loose cords. The flange adds a trim, architectural finish and supports drywall mounting, giving installers and homeowners a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing solution that disappears behind the screen while remaining easily accessible for service. With six receptacles equipped with advanced filtering and surge protection, plus isolated ground, you get reliable power distribution that preserves signal integrity and minimizes interference in home theaters, conference rooms, classrooms, and retail environments.

• The PAC526FWP6 provides a recessed, in-wall space that keeps cables organized, reduces wear on cords, and minimizes heat buildup by separating power activity from the room’s surface. The result is a neater install with improved airflow behind the display and less risk of accidental cable damage during daily use.
• A flange-equipped, trim-worthy design creates a polished, professional look that blends seamlessly with drywall. This feature not only elevates aesthetics but also simplifies mounting, alignment, and future access for service or upgrades without compromising the wall’s integrity.
• Six receptacles with built-in filter and surge protection form a versatile power bank for AV gear. This configuration accommodates media players, streaming devices, gaming consoles, and display equipment, ensuring power quality while guarding against surges and electrical noise that can degrade performance.
• Isolated ground technology minimizes electrical noise and cross-talk, delivering cleaner audio and sharper video. The isolated ground path helps preserve signal clarity for high-definition sources and sensitive equipment often used in home theaters and corporate installations.
• A durable black finish and rugged construction make this in-wall storage box a dependable choice for active environments. Its dual-gang capacity, compact footprint, and compatibility with standard wall assemblies make it suitable for new builds, remodels, or retrofits where cable management is critical.

How to Install Chief Proximity In-Wall Storage Box

• Power off the circuit: Before starting installation, switch off the corresponding circuit at the main panel to ensure safety while wiring and mounting the in-wall box.
• Plan and position: Identify the ideal location behind the display or wall space, ensuring there is adequate clearance for six receptacles, the flange, and the cable routing path. Confirm stud layout and access for in-wall wiring runs in compliance with local electrical codes.
• Mount the housing: Secure the dual-gang box to the wall using the flange and drywall mounting points. Align with studs as needed to provide a solid, stable backing that won’t shift after the wall finish is applied.
• Wiring and connections: Bring in the appropriate power feed and distribute it to the six receptacles. Route cables neatly within the recessed space, keeping power and signal lines separated where possible to reduce interference. Follow local electrical codes and use approved connectors and strain reliefs where required.
• Finish and test: Once wiring is complete, restore power and test each receptacle for proper operation, including the filter and surge protection functions. Verify isolated ground performance and ensure all outlets are displaying correct voltage before mounting any wall finishes or paneling.
