Peerless-AV IBA3AC-W Mounting Box for Flat Panel Display - White

The Peerless-AV IBA3AC-W Recessed Cable and Storage Management Box is designed to transform cluttered AV setups into sleek, professional displays. Engineered to be installed behind your flat-panel display and paired with a compatible Peerless-AV mount, this white in-wall accessory conceals power and low-voltage cables like HDMI, USB, and other wiring essentials. The result is a clean, seamless presentation with cables hidden from view, reducing distractions and creating a more engaging viewing experience in homes, offices, classrooms, and hospitality environments.

• Ultra-clean aesthetics: Cables and cords become virtually invisible behind the display, delivering a polished, showroom-ready look. By concealing power strips and low-voltage wiring within the wall, you avoid the unsightly tangle of cords that can distract from the content you’re delivering. This is especially valuable in spaces where visuals matter most, such as living rooms, conference rooms, and retail environments.
• Recessed in-wall design: The box sits recessed within the wall cavity, helping to minimize protrusion and keep the back of the display streamlined. This design not only enhances aesthetics but also improves air circulation around the mounting area and reduces dust accumulation on exposed cables. It provides a secure, organized path for cables, so you can adjust or reconfigure connections with confidence.
• Versatile compatibility and low-voltage support: Built to work in concert with Peerless-AV mounting systems, the IBA3AC-W accommodates typical low-voltage runs, including HDMI and other signal cables, as well as power leads. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of installations—from ultra-thin home cinema setups to more demanding commercial displays—without compromising safety or performance.
• White finish for versatile décor: The finish is designed to blend with many wall colors and interior styles, preserving a cohesive look whether your space features modern neutrals or warmer palettes. The neutral white exterior helps the installation fade into the background, leaving the focus on the content rather than the hardware.
• Easy installation and maintenance: The IBA3AC-W is engineered for straightforward integration with existing Peerless-AV mounts. It simplifies cable routing, management, and occasional servicing, enabling quick access to connections while keeping the wall behind the display neat and organized. With thoughtful design details, maintenance tasks are faster, helping you keep your setup up-to-date with minimal downtime.

How to install Peerless-AV IBA3AC-W

Creating a clean, behind-the-display cable solution begins with careful planning and a methodical approach. The following guidance outlines a practical installation flow that aligns with common in-wall mounting practices and Peerless-AV compatibility. Always follow local electrical codes and best practices for wall installations when wiring and mounting heavy displays.

• Plan the location: Determine the optimal position for the display and the in-wall box, ensuring you have the appropriate wall cavity depth, access points, and clearance for cable routing. Confirm alignment with the mounting pattern of your chosen Peerless-AV display mount to ensure smooth assembly and concealment.
• Prepare the wall: When cutting the wall opening for the IBA3AC-W, create a precise cavity that accommodates the box size while avoiding existing studs, electrical runs, or plumbing. If needed, relocate or re-route cables within safe, code-compliant paths before proceeding.
• Install the box: Position the recessed cable management box behind the display area and secure it according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the box sits flush with the wall plane so there is no gap around the enclosure that could collect dust or compromise aesthetics.
• Route cables through the box: Gently feed power and low-voltage cables through the box’s channels or knockouts, taking care to maintain proper bends and avoiding sharp twists that could degrade signal integrity. Use strain relief where appropriate to prevent accidental pull on connectors.
• Attach the display and finalize: With cables routed and secured, mount the flat-panel display to the Peerless-AV mounting system. Connect the HDMI, power, and other relevant cables, then attach any cover plates or faceplates as specified. Test all connections to confirm alignment, signal integrity, and that cables remain concealed behind the display.
• Finish and verify: If the wall finish requires touch-ups, complete painting or trim work to seamlessly integrate the installation with the room’s décor. Re-check cable positions after the final mounting to ensure no movement occurred during assembly.
