Drip Loop

The media module is designed to ﬁt within a 13” (33 cm) to 19” (48.3 cm) wide 2x4 stud cavity. The cavity should be free of cross bracing and insulation.

Brackets should be positioned 20-1/2″ (52.1 cm) apart. Allow enough room to one side of the media module to accommodate the electrical outlet installation and power cord connection.

Measure 2-5/8″ (6.7 cm) to 2-7/8″ (7.3 cm) in from the stud face to determine the bracket placement.

Mark the bracket locations with a pencil.

Install a 15 A 120 V GFCI electrical outlet within the stud framing, in close proximity to the media module.

If used, run the Ethernet cable to the media module installation site.
