Put the One Connect Box in a different room

The One Connect Box keeps everything nice and tidy by letting you plug all your external devices into one place. 

The Invisible Connection cable is just 3.4 mm in diameter, and is available up to 49 feet long. It is designed to easily attach to a Samsung TV wall mount.

One idea is to have the One Connect Box and your connected devices in a separate room, as long as you can run the Invisible Connection cable between your TV and your One Connect Box. (Run the cable along the wall or the baseboards.) Just keep in mind that the cable needs to be handled with care – do not bend it at a harsh angle.

This is also a great idea for the in-wall rated One Connect cables that are available. It's a great way to have everything you love connected to your TV while keeping your devices hidden from view. Just remember to follow all local guidelines when installing in-wall cables. You can review this helpful guide for installing in-wall wiring.
