Leviton 49605-28W 28 Wireless Structured Media Center with Vented Cover, White

Well, the box seems sturdy and wouldve hidden some wireless + wired equipment nicely for me, but the plan was to put it in a closet inside living space in the home and this thing reeks to high heaven of plasticizers and other VOCs. I let it spend a day in the sun to see if that would help, but it barely faded at all. The Mrs. is really sensitive to funny smells and this wouldve been banned from the house had I even made an attempt to install it. Its a shame, because the design is really nice, and less industrial than a metal cabinet or comm rack. I guess Ill be putting all the gear on a sheet of EPVC board and mounting it in the garage. The structured media centers going back to the Amazon Warehouse where I got it, like-new condition, and hopefully someone can give it a third attempt at life. Just too stanky for my home.

I was a Telecom technician for over 5 years, and I have been a controls electrician for the last 6. I work in controls panels, and used to work in smart panels all day. I was used to seeing Open House and Legrand smart panels for the most part, but when I went to buy my own, I bought Leviton without much research, because it’s what first to came up on Amazon for a plastic panel (I’m putting my wifi router in it) and I trusted them as an electrician. I finally got around to installing my own Structured Media Enclosure / Smart Panel in my own home, and I am very unimpressed. The Leviton hole spacing is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from EVERY OTHER BRAND! That means all my Beldan, Open House and Legrand parts DO NOT FIT without modification. EVERY OTHER PANEL I have worked on had the same mounting hole spacing. If you buy this panel, you will be stuck using Leviton parts, which are easily DOUBLE the price of every other brand. I had purchased this panel so long ago it was too late to return it, so I ended up spending around $400 in extra accessories that I already had for literally any other brand of panel. Shame on Leviton for making their product proprietary. Avoid this product all together and look for literally any other brand.

Good

I bought this to fit a bunch of equipment in my wall. I replaced an old small metal one. I had to cut my drywall longer to fit the size. I also bought the trim that can go around the edges. I put in a UPS, Modem/Router, punch down panel, a network switch and other misc. I couldn’t be more happier. There are vents in the side to let air in to keep your devices cool. Because it is made of hard plastic, it won’t conflict with WI-FI signals like a metal box will. I am very happy with mine and hope my photo might inspire some other projects.

I have been a Leviton fan for many years. This is a beautifully made sturdy unit. The builder had installed an older 14 metal unit as a telephone splitter when we had landline phones. I removed that and cut the drywall to install this one. It fit exactly between the studs. The plastic material ensures you can install a wifi router. The plastic material is quite thick, and does not crack, so feel free to drill and screw if you wish.

The panel looks good and the install was pretty straight forward. I ran my fiber modem and router from my attic into my laundry room for ease of access. I also ordered the trim piece separately which cleaned up the overall look.

Mates well with Leviton 47605-14S 14-Inch Vented Premium Hinged Structured Media Door, White. Installed easily and cleanly.

I use it for my Samsung frame tv, it works well

This product is OK. But seriously, $21 per shelf bracket? At the first look I thought thats the price for 10-pack. I cant believe a piece of plastic cost $21. I know that piece of plastic can support 20 lb weight. But I dont need it to support 20 lb. I need a piece of plastic supporting less than 1lb tiny modem/router/switches. Whos going to put anything more than that in an enclosure of this size? There must be a sales term for this: selling the product at a reasonable price, but marking up the essential accessories.

Easy to install and mounted nicely between two studs. Was the perfect size to put the box for our frame TV and I now have no wires in the wall since it accommodates an outlet.
