It is the smaller-footprint companion to Peerless-AV's 14x14 in-wall box line, sized for locations where a full recessed AV closet isn't needed but a clean cable pass-through and protected power connection still are. The AC-W designation means this unit ships with an integrated duplex surge protector, so integrators get power protection and cable management in a single recessed enclosure. It's a standard spec item on commercial TV mount installations, conference room displays, and digital signage runs where AV cable management and in-wall power routing keep the wall finish clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Alternate-Image1_0b198055-d774-4550-a9ed-e3c65853310d.jpg\" alt=\"Peerless-AV IB14X9-AC-W 14x9 in-wall box with duplex surge protector, white, front view\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat does the Peerless-AV IB14X9-AC-W do?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis in-wall box recesses into a standard wall cavity between studs, creating a protected space for HDMI, network, and power cabling to route from a source device or media player up to a wall-mounted display without any visible conduit or exposed low-voltage wiring. The duplex surge protector built into the AC-W model gives the display and any rack-mount or shelf-mount AV components at that location a protected power drop, which matters on commercial installs where a shared electrical panel and other building loads can introduce transient spikes. Because the unit is designed around the same 14x9 footprint as Peerless-AV's broader in-wall box family, it installs using the same drywall clamp and stud-mount hardware integrators already carry for the 14x14 version, which simplifies stocking on multi-room jobs. The white scratch-resistant fused-epoxy finish blends into painted drywall so the unit reads as a finished wall plate rather than an exposed junction box once trim-out is complete. It supports the practical reality of commercial AV installation: a wall-mounted display needs both a data path and a protected power source at the mount point, and running both through a single recessed box avoids a second low-voltage box and separate outlet. This makes the IB14X9-AC-W a common spec item for conference room displays, huddle room screens, lobby digital signage, and any application where an AV mount is going into finished drywall and cable management needs to stay behind the wall. Integrators typically install it during rough-in, before drywall closes up, then complete the display mount and cable dress once the wall is finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegrated duplex surge protector\u003c\/strong\u003e — the AC-W model includes a built-in surge-protected outlet so the display and connected AV gear at the mount point get protected power without a separate strip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14\"x9\" recessed footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e — sized for locations where a full 14x14 in-wall box isn't necessary, keeping the wall opening as small as the job allows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScratch-resistant fused-epoxy white finish\u003c\/strong\u003e — matches standard commercial wall trim so the box reads as a finished cover plate, not exposed hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrywall clamp mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — installs into standard drywall cavities without needing a stud directly behind the cutout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConcealed cable routing\u003c\/strong\u003e — keeps HDMI, network, and low-voltage cabling behind the wall for a clean, code-conscious installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Alternate-Image2_0a179031-7c3e-4e59-821b-518c7aa2c758.jpg\" alt=\"Peerless-AV IB14X9-AC-W 14x9 in-wall recessed box interior showing surge protector outlet\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is the Peerless-AV IB14X9-AC-W typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuddle room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoardroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Alternate-Image3_205d7b81-92d2-4982-8657-8ed355c7f842.jpg\" alt=\"Peerless-AV IB14X9-AC-W 14x9 in-wall box angled product view\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;table-layout:fixed;min-width:280px;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:45%;\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:55%;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\"\u003eFootprint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003e14\" x 9\" in-wall box\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\"\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eScratch-resistant fused epoxy, white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\"\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eIntegrated duplex surge protector outlet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\"\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eDrywall clamp installation, standard wall cavity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:600;\"\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:6px;border:1px solid #ddd;\"\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/Life-Style_6f478bd1-5eaf-4495-aa22-501fa598cbb3.jpg\" alt=\"Peerless-AV IB14X9-AC-W in-wall box installed behind a wall-mounted display\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the IB14X9-AC-W require a stud behind the wall opening?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It uses drywall clamps for installation into a standard cavity and does not require a stud directly behind the cutout, though installers should still confirm the cavity is clear of existing wiring or blocking before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the surge protector rated for the display and a source device at the same time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe integrated duplex outlet is designed to power the display and one additional low-draw AV component, such as a media player or streaming device, at the same recessed location.
