Sanus SA-IWB17-W1 17" TV Media In-Wall Box - White (SAIWB17W1)

Sanus SA-IWB17-W1 17" TV Media In-Wall Box - White

This low-profile in-wall box conceals streaming devices, power, and excess cabling directly behind a wall-mounted television, delivering a clean, cable-free viewing area without sacrificing Wi-Fi performance.

Declutter the space behind any wall-mounted TV

The 17-inch interior provides room for popular streaming hubs such as Samsung One Connect, Apple TV, Roku, and Amazon Fire TV while keeping them hidden from sight. By relocating gear and power connections inside the wall, the box removes the tangle of cords that often dangles below a display. The result is a minimal, gallery-style installation that places full attention on the picture—not the wiring.

Designed for fast, frustration-free installation

Sanus ships the in-wall media box with a cutting template, trim ring, cover, hook-and-loop strap, and an extra mounting plate. The template outlines exactly where to open the drywall, while the strap secures small devices in seconds. Cable and power knockouts are positioned on multiple sides, giving the installer flexibility to drop in-wall rated extension cords or route Ethernet and HDMI wherever it makes the most sense.

Wi-Fi transparent construction keeps devices connected

The box uses a radio-friendly polymer that allows 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals to pass through unimpeded. Streaming sticks, smart hubs, and network switches maintain strong wireless performance even though they sit behind the drywall. There is no need to add external antennas or drill ventilation holes—Wi-Fi reception and passive airflow are built right in.

Frequently asked questions

• Will this 17-inch in-wall box fit between standard wall studs?

  Yes. The enclosure is sized to drop into the 16-inch on-center spacing used in most residential framing, so it sits flush without altering stud structure.

• How are devices secured inside the box?

  A supplied hook-and-loop strap wraps around small streamers, while the extra mounting plate can be tapped for heavier components like network switches. This prevents movement when inserting or removing cables.

• Can the box supply power to the TV and the devices?

  Absolutely. One knockout is specifically sized for an in-wall power kit, letting an electrician or qualified installer bring AC into the enclosure so the TV and internal equipment share a single, tidy power location.

• Does the plastic cover block the remote control signal?

  Infrared remotes typically need line-of-sight, so most users rely on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth control once the devices are hidden. If IR is still required, a small IR repeater can be added through a cable knockout.

• What is the maximum device depth the box can handle?

  Internal depth is approximately three inches, giving ample clearance for slim streamers and low-profile network gear while still allowing the TV to sit close to the wall.
