Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Monster® In-Wall PowerCenter™ Provides a Clean, "Invisible" Installation for Flat Screen TVs and Projectors
The Monster Power In-Wall PowerCenter provides protection, performance, and behind-the-screen hideaway convenience in a complete kit that has everything you'll need to install power and video feeds for a wall-mounted flat screen TV or projector. The PowerCenter hides the AC power cord AND video source cables (RF, HDMI, DVI, RGB, etc.) Included are three custom face plates, including one for feeding coax only (three 2.0 GHz jacks with Monster SurgeGuard protection) and one for coax (three 2.0 GHz jacks with SurgeGuard) plus any other cable types, thanks to the patented Monster pass-through plate! No need to drill holes for special connectors—just feed the cables through the pass-through plate for a neat, custom appearance. Great for projector hook-ups too!

Monster Clean Power™ and Surge Protection Module
Did you know that AC power is filled with noise, surges, and spikes that can degrade the overall performance of your flat screen and projection TVs? The power company, the neighbors’ appliances or other connected electronics in your home all contribute to the problem of “dirty” AC power—full of noise and interference—that can degrade your flat screen and projection TV’s sound and picture. Monster Power In-Wall PowerCenter features patented Monster Clean Power Stage 1 v.2.0 to reduce interference coming through the AC power line. “Polluted” AC power is effectively removed, helping provide the best picture and sound possible.

Monster exclusive Dual Mode Plus™ Protection circuitry with audible alarm and 1260 Joules of surge protection prevents damage to your TV. Includes 3 diagnostic indicator lights, and Alarm Off and Display Off switches.

Monster SurgeGuard ™ Protected, 2.0 GHz Coax Connections with Pass-Through Plate
Electrical spikes are not limited to power lines—they can also occur on antenna, cable-TV and satellite-TV cables, especially during electrical storm activity. Monster SurgeGuard protects satellite TV, cable-TV, cable modem, or other in-wall coax connections. Three coax connections provide full 2.0-GHz bandwidth for satellite and digital cable-TV, while providing protection against damaging electrical surges.

Exclusive Monster Power® Pass-Through Plate and Complete Custom Installation Kit to Eliminate AV Cable Clutter
Neatly feed ANY audio-video signal source cable (including HDMI, DVI, Component Video, S-Video, and Composite) to the TV. There’s no need to drill holes, just pull the cables through the patented Monster pass-through plate for a professional, custom appearance. Complete kit includes all hardware needed for a neat-looking, professional installation.

Note: Monster recommends the In-Wall PowerCenter be installed by a licensed electrician.

5.0 out of 5 stars Monster MP HFTS-IW HC In Wall PowerCenter, December 30, 2007

I needed a power surge protector that would fit behind my LCD wall mounted television set. There is only about 1.5 inches clearance between the wall and the television set and I didn't want any exposed wires. This device is not available in any stores (Home Depot/ Fry's Electronics/ 2 different electrical supply stores etc) but I found just what I needed on Amazon! It works great. It took about two hours to install but I am a homeowner, not a contractor. Could probably do the 2nd one in 30 minutes now that I know what I am doing.

This review is from: Monster MP HTFS-IW HC In-Wall PowerCenter for Custom Installations (Electronics)

The Monster MP HTFS-IW HC In Wall Power Center was a logical choice for my new Sharp LCD TV. I mounted the PowerCenter on the wall and used an optional (did not come with) HDMI in-wall dual outlet in place of the provided coax connectors plate.

I had some installation issues that need to be pointed out. The wires for the power center are three stranded and three solid wires. The instructions say to connect the line power in to the solid wires and connect the stranded wires to the duplex outlet with ring terminals. A label on the unit says to connect the other way.

The duplex outlet included is not the Decora style rectangular design as shown, it is a common round duplex outlet. A plastic cover is included to fit over the outlet to make it look like a Decora outlet.

The enclosed offset power cable is nice, but it does not work on my TV. It appears to be made for A/V or computer power connection.

Once the installation is complete, the setup is slick and looks good. The status leds can be switched on/off.
I have my 40" LCDTV plugged into it now and it appears to be working beautifully. I'll know soon enough with the spring storm season upon us.

It is covered by a 2-year warranty, plus up to $250,000 maximum coverage on connected equipment for 2 years.

This great little product saves me lots of space. I have one of Monster's high end surge protectors and line conditioners as well. I compared the two and I can't tell a difference. Usually my Martin Logan speakers will pick up any electrical noise from a cheap surge protector. I didn't have that problem here.
