4 Best Kits to Hide TV Wires in the Wall, Compared

A good hide TV wires in wall kit gives cables a clean path behind the drywall, handles power safely, and installs without a contractor. Of the four kits below, the Mount-It kit suits anyone who wants power and cables solved in one box. The ECHOGEAR kit suits a DIYer who wants the hole saw included. The Power Bridge kit suits a signal-only run of HDMI and Ethernet. The Commercial Electric kit suits a simple white wall-plate finish.

The problem is that a wall-mounted TV with a cord dangling below it looks unfinished, and kit listings rarely say what you still need to buy. Some kits include power and some do not. Some include cutting tools and some leave you to find them. This article sets four kits side by side, shows what each one includes, who it suits, and what to check before you cut into your wall.

We mount TVs and run low voltage wiring across the Treasure Valley, so we know where these projects go smoothly and where they stall. Treat the specs here as listing details, and confirm the current price and contents before you order.

1. Mount-It in-wall TV cable concealer with power

The Mount-It MI-7284 is the pick when you want power and cables solved in one purchase. It is a two-piece kit that puts a recessed outlet behind the TV and a lower plate near your equipment.

What you get

The kit pairs a recessed triple outlet with a lower plate and a brush pass-through for signal cables. It is listed at $66.99 and bundles power and cable concealment in one box.

• Three outlets at 120V
• 9 ft pre-wired power cord
• Brush pass-through for low voltage cables such as HDMI and Ethernet
• Cutting template, drywall knife and hardware included
• ETL certified

Who it suits and what to watch

Choose this kit if you have a hollow drywall wall and want one box for power and cables. It holds a 4.7 out of 5 rating across 15 reviews, and one buyer reported finishing in 10 to 15 minutes.

Plan to bring two items. One reviewer noted you may need to drill a starter hole for the drywall cuts and use fish tape to pull the cord to the lower opening. Another found the kit bigger than expected, so test the template against your stud spacing first.

Power is the part most kits skip, so check it before you compare anything else.

2. ECHOGEAR in-wall TV cord hider kit

The ECHOGEAR kit is the pick for a low-voltage cable run when you do not own a hole saw. It is a white kit built to hide TV wires behind the wall.

What you get

The listing describes two pass-throughs, one high behind the TV and one low near your gear. It also includes locking brackets and a hole saw. Prices vary by retailer, so compare before you order.

• Two pass-through plates
• Locking brackets
• Hole saw for the openings
• White finish

Who it suits and what to watch

This kit suits a DIYer running HDMI, Ethernet or similar signal cables who wants the cutting tool in the box. ECHOGEAR sells in-wall power kits as a separate product line, so an outlet behind the TV means a second purchase.

Do a dry fit before you cut. Pull your largest connector through the pass-through opening, because an HDMI plug is wider than its cable. If the plug sticks, the cut is too small for the plates you chose.

A kit with its own cutting tool saves a trip to the hardware store, not a bad measurement.

3. Power Bridge in-wall cable management kit

The Power Bridge kit is the pick when power is already handled and you only need a neat pass-through for signal cables. It is made for wall-mounted TVs.

What you get

The maker describes a system that hides low-voltage cables, specifically HDMI and Ethernet, through a built-in brush plate. The brush keeps the opening closed while the cables pass through. The maker also advertises UL certification.

• Low-voltage pass-through for HDMI and Ethernet
• Built-in brush plate
• Designed for TV mount installs
• Certification advertised by the maker

Who it suits and what to watch

It suits a setup where an outlet already sits behind the TV, for example one added by an electrician. It also suits buyers who want a certified product for signal cables. Check the maker's product page for current pricing and contents.

The limit is power. This kit does not carry the TV's plug, so you still need a safe answer for it. Never route a standard extension cord inside the wall to fill that gap.

If your power problem is unsolved, a signal-only kit solves half the wall.

4. Commercial Electric in-wall cable kit

The Commercial Electric DICBLW-K is the pick when you want a plain white wall-plate finish that disappears on a painted wall. It is sold through Home Depot and described as commonly used with mounted TVs.

What you get

The listing says the kit hides cables behind the wall surface instead of letting them hang along it. The included wall plates cover the cut openings, and the finish is white.

• Model DICBLW-K
• White wall plates
• Designed to hide cables behind the wall surface
• Common pairing with mounted TVs

Who it suits and what to watch

It suits a buyer who wants a straightforward plate kit and prefers to buy from a home center. White plates blend into most painted walls.

Read the box contents before buying. The kits above ship with a hole saw or drywall knife, so do not assume this one does. Confirm whether it includes any power component, and if it does not, handle power separately and safely.

A simple kit is fine as long as you know exactly which jobs it leaves to you.

How to choose the right in-wall kit

Choose by power first, tools second, price last. Every kit here hides cables, but only some hide power.

Quick comparison

Kit	Power	Cable path	Notable detail
Mount-It MI-7284	Built in, 3 outlets, 9 ft cord	Brush pass-through	$66.99, ETL certified

Commercial Electric	Check the listing	Wall plates	White finish

Wall and safety checks

These kits need a hollow wall, so drywall works and brick or concrete does not. Use a stud finder, mark the studs, and confirm the opening sits between them with no pipes or wires inside.

Standard extension cords are not meant to run inside walls and can be a fire hazard. Use a listed power kit, or have a licensed electrician add an outlet behind the TV.

Cut only after you know what sits inside the wall.

DIY or professional install

Doing it yourself costs the kit and an afternoon. We charge base labor of $139 for TVs 55 inches or smaller, $169 for 56 to 97 inches, and $199 for 98 inches or larger, covering mounting, leveling and basic external cable management. In-wall work goes beyond that basic scope, so we quote it on site.

Take a 65-inch TV. The Mount-It kit at $66.99 plus our $169 base labor comes to $235.99 before any quote for cutting the wall. A single TV mount typically takes us one to two hours.

Which kit to buy

Buy the Mount-It kit if you want power and cables in one box, the ECHOGEAR kit if you only need signal cables and want the hole saw included, the Power Bridge kit if power is already covered, and the Commercial Electric kit for a plain white finish. Whatever you choose, check the wall, keep power on a listed path, and dry fit before you cut.
