Cable management tips to neatly hide your TV cables

Of course, with a full motion wall mount, you don't want to see tangled cables as soon as you turn the TV. Many of our full motion mounts have the Cable Inlay System (CIS®), Vogel’s patented cable management system. The system routes the cables through support arms from the wall to your TV. For other mounts, we guide the cables tight along the support arm.

If you don't want to see any cables when you turn your TV, opt for the back cover. It covers all cables and connections to your TV. With its anthracite colour, you can be sure it won't stand out.

Do you have your TV mounted on a TV stand rather than hanging on a wall mount? For those, too, we have considered convenient cable management in the design. There is a special space behind our TV stand (TVS 3695 and TVS 3690) where you can easily conceal the TV cables. This instantly creates a clean and tidy look. Moreover, the cables are easy to access and are protected. 

Are you starting with a blank canvas in a newly built home? Then you can still specify exactly where in the walls the cables should pass through. Discuss with the contractor or electrician exactly where you want the ducts and conduits for the TV and other equipment. A wide cable duct allows you to hide all necessary cables behind the wall. No extra accessory is involved. 

In this process, don't forget to create sufficient sockets. Not only does your TV need to be connected, but USB-powered devices also need power. It's useful to place an outlet directly behind the TV, for example. Just fit and measure carefully to make sure there are no bulges on the TV at the level of the socket so that it fits perfectly. 

There are a few ways to hide your TV cables without drilling into your walls. Some cable covers don’t require drilling and use adhesive to stick to the wall. However, this solution is not as long-lasting as a cover that you screw onto the wall. You could also consider mounting your television on a TV stand that is equipped with a cable management solution. Choose between a floor stand or a tabletop stand that you place on top of a cabinet or table.

You have a few options for hiding the cables of your wall-mounted TV: an in-wall solution makes for the cleanest look without any visible cables because they run through your wall. However, this requires quite a bit of drilling and cutting and might not be ideal if you want to avoid wall damage. On-wall cable management with cord covers or raceways are easier to install and require less tools and skills. That is why we recommend using a discreet cable cover to conceal your cables.
