Hide a Samsung One Connect Box In the Wall
A Flush, Code-Compliant Finish for Your Frame TV
South Charlotte Services (704) 442-7019 builds custom recessed enclosures that hide a Samsung One Connect Box in the wall the correct way, keeping your Frame TV looking like a piece of art instead of a TV with a visible cable box nearby. Learn more at southcharlotteservices.org.
Why Hide the One Connect Box?
The Samsung One Connect Box is a convenient hub for every cable your Frame TV needs, but its bulky shape works against the whole point of a Frame TV: a clean, gallery-art look on the wall. Hiding it properly solves three real problems at once.
Aesthetic Appeal
Hiding the One Connect Box keeps the focus on the TV itself, without a visible cable hub sitting on a console or shelf nearby.
Safety & Space
Concealing the box and its cables reduces trip hazards and frees up console or shelf space for anything else you actually want there.

Methods to Hide the One Connect Box
There’s more than one way to conceal a One Connect Box, and the right method depends on your wall type, whether you’re willing to cut into drywall, and how much access you want to the box afterward.
Recessed Media Box
A recessed media box is cut into the wall between studs and sits flush with the drywall, giving the cleanest possible look. It requires locating studs, cutting an opening sized to the box, and running power to an outlet inside the recess.
Best for: new construction or drywall you’re comfortable modifying. Trade-off: requires cutting drywall and a properly placed electrical outlet.
Custom Built AV Back Box
For Frame TV installs, South Charlotte Services typically builds a custom AV back box sized specifically for your One Connect Box and any other components you want concealed alongside it.
| TV Size | One Connect Box Dimensions (W x H x D) |
|---|---|
| 32″ Frame TV | 8.2″ x 1.6″ x 4.8″ |
| 43″-75″ Frame TV | 15.0″ x 2.1″ x 5.1″ |
Exact One Connect Box dimensions vary by model year, so we confirm yours on site before building the enclosure.
Surface-Mounted Cord Channels
If cutting into the wall isn’t an option, paintable surface-mounted channels route the cable along the wall instead of through it. It’s a faster, less invasive install that can be painted to match your wall color, though it’s less seamless than an in-wall solution.
Motorized Lifts
A motorized lift installed behind the wall can raise the One Connect Box into reach at the push of a button and retract it out of sight afterward. It’s the most convenient option for frequent access, and also the most complex and expensive to install.
Custom Cabinetry
Built-in cabinetry can house the One Connect Box and other AV components while matching your existing decor. This is a custom carpentry project more than a standard install, and pairs well with a broader built-in shelving or media wall project.
The Code Question Most Guides Skip
Some DIY guides suggest fishing the One Connect cable loose through the wall cavity to a cabinet below. Under the National Electrical Code (NEC Article 400.12), flexible power cords generally cannot be run through holes in walls or concealed inside a wall cavity as a substitute for fixed wiring, the same rule that keeps you from running a lamp cord inside a wall. That’s exactly why we build an enclosed recessed box with its own properly installed outlet, instead of just pushing a bare cord through insulation. The box contains the connection; nothing is run through the wall as loose cord.
South Charlotte Services handles the box, the carpentry, and the accessible outlet connection inside it. If your project needs new electrical circuitry beyond that, we’ll tell you and point you to a licensed electrician rather than working outside our scope.
