In-Wall Metal Box Large w/1 Knock Out & Power Outlet for A/V Access- BLK

Ideal Use Cases

The Peerless-AV IBA2AC is designed for installations where power cords and low-voltage cables need to be concealed behind a flat-panel display, audio component, or other device. Its recessed storage format provides an in-wall location for HDMI, RCA, power, and related cabling instead of leaving cords visible around the equipment. The gloss-black enclosure is suited to A/V projects where a clean, professional appearance is a priority. With a stated 25 lb load capacity, it also provides practical behind-the-screen storage for cables and cords.

Why Choose This Model

This model combines cable management and power storage in one wall-mountable accessory. A 125 V AC duplex power receptacle is included, along with a galvanized outlet box with knockouts, making the power module part of the supplied package. The enclosure is constructed from cold-rolled steel and finished in scratch-resistant, high-gloss black. At 17.4 inches wide, 11 inches high, and 3.8 inches deep, it offers a large recessed enclosure while weighing approximately 6.50 lb. These dimensions make it possible to evaluate the box against the available installation space before assembly begins.

Installation and Integration

Installation centers on incorporating the accessory box into the wall and coordinating its position with the display, audio component, or other device. When combined with a Peerless-AV wall mount, the IBA2AC is intended to provide a behind-the-screen solution that keeps power and low-voltage cabling out of sight. Its receptacle knock-out accommodates the included duplex power module. Supplied mounting hardware, cable-management ties, and a grommet support the physical setup and routing of cables. Assembly is required, so the enclosure dimensions, 15 A input-current rating, and 125 V AC power requirement should be considered when planning the installation.

Performance Highlights

The IBA2AC is rated for 125 V AC input at 15 A and uses AC power. Its cable-management function is focused on visual organization: power cords and low-voltage cables such as HDMI or RCA can be routed into the recessed storage area so they become virtually invisible after the connected equipment is in place. Cold-rolled steel construction supports the stated 25 lb load capacity, while the scratch-resistant finish helps preserve the gloss-black appearance. The wall-mountable form factor positions the storage area directly behind or near the equipment where concealed cable access is needed.

What Makes It Different

Unlike a basic passive cable opening, this model includes a Leviton Smart Grid tamper-resistant duplex receptacle and a galvanized outlet box with knockouts. The package also contains the recessed storage accessory box, mounting hardware, cable-management ties, and a grommet, bringing the listed installation components together under one model. The IBA2AC is TAA compliant and meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) environmental compliance requirements. Peerless-AV also covers the accessory box with a five-year limited warranty.

Final Assessment

The Peerless-AV IBA2AC is a purpose-built option for projects that require concealed power and low-voltage cabling behind flat-panel displays or related A/V devices. Recessed storage, an included 125 V duplex receptacle, cold-rolled steel construction, scratch resistance, and the supplied installation accessories give it a clearly defined role in organized wall-mounted systems. It is best matched to installations where its 17.4 by 11 by 3.8-inch dimensions, 25 lb load capacity, 15 A rating, gloss-black finish, and required assembly meet the project requirements.
