YANWEN Cord Organizer Box (2PCS, Large + Medium) for Power Strips and Cable Hiding
Quick take
This two-piece YANWEN cord organizer box helps you hide power strips, surge protectors, and tangled cables, while still giving you a lid for access and side openings for cable routing. It is a good pick for tidying behind TVs and in computer setups, but the “child-safe” concept is more of a barrier than true child-proofing, so extra supervision is still important.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Two sizes included (large and medium) to fit common power-strip and adapter setups.
- Three side cable openings plus a lid, making routing and plug access more convenient.
- Plastic construction with an insulated barrier approach intended for safer contact around cords.
- Design targets hiding bulky cords for a cleaner, more compact look.
Cons
- Not truly child-proof, and the lid can still be opened by an active toddler.
- Fit can be tight if your power strip or surge protector is larger than the box opening allowance.
- Thin, lightweight plastic may feel less durable for rough handling.
What buyers think
Buyer feedback is mostly positive on appearance and day-to-day cable management. Many shoppers describe the boxes as a practical way to make cords look neater behind a TV or around workstations, including cases where multiple devices (gaming consoles, satellite boxes, media players) create a lot of cable clutter. Several reviews specifically mention that the side openings add versatility for routing different cable types, and that the larger plus medium combo helps cover more devices without needing to reorder. The main recurring caveat is safety expectations: while the design aims to be child-safe via a barrier, reviews indicate it is not child-proof in every home setup, especially with toddlers who can interact with the cables and lid.
What this cord organizer box is for
The YANWEN cable hider is meant to conceal power strips, surge protectors, and the cables that attach to them. Instead of leaving adapters and plug tops exposed, the box gives you an enclosure where you can store the power hardware and route the cord ends through side openings so devices stay usable.
Size and fit: large and medium box combo
You get two boxes with different footprints: a large size and a medium size. The large unit is listed at about 16 in long (with a width around 5 to 6 in depending on the dimension listing), and the medium unit is listed at about 12.5 in long. In practice, this two-size approach is helpful when you have one bigger power strip or surge protector plus one smaller adapter-heavy section (for example, a TV area plus a desk/work area).
Design details that matter for real use
Side openings for routing
The box has a lid for access and three side openings for cables. This matters because you are not just stuffing cords inside, you are routing them so equipment remains connected and reachable for unplugging.
Lid access for daily use
Because there is a lid, you can reach the power strip or surge protector when you need to change connections or rearrange devices. This is generally more convenient than fully sealed covers where you would have to remove everything to access ports.
Child-safety barrier, not child-proofing
The organizer is made from ABS insulation material with a protective barrier concept meant to reduce direct access to plugs, wires, and the power strip area. However, feedback indicates the barrier is not the same thing as child-proof. If you have an infant or toddler, plan for supervision or add extra safety measures based on your home situation.
Pros and cons in plain language
When it makes sense
- You want a cleaner setup behind a TV, entertainment system, or computer workstation.
- You have a mix of cords and a power strip or surge protector that you want hidden but still connected.
- You would like a two-box solution so one size can fit the larger power hardware while the other handles a smaller section.
When you should think twice
- Your surge protector or power strip is unusually large, with bulky plug heads that need more clearance.
- You expect “child-safe” to mean “child-proof” in a toddler environment.
- You prefer sturdier, heavier materials and are worried about thin plastic under frequent handling.
Is it worth it?
If your goal is visual cleanup and simpler cable routing, the YANWEN cord organizer box is an easy, budget-friendly way to conceal the most visible part of your cable mess, the power strip area. The strongest reasons to buy are the two-size bundle and the lid plus side openings that help cables stay connected without making the setup impossible to adjust. The main thing to get right is fit, especially for the specific dimensions of your power strip/surge protector and the size of the plugs connected to it. And if child safety is your top concern, treat it as a barrier rather than a foolproof solution.
Alternatives to consider (by your priorities)
- If you need maximum durability: look for cord covers or cable boxes made from thicker plastic or metal with more rigid hinges and latches, especially if you plan to adjust the setup often.
- If you need stronger toddler-proofing: consider cord management systems that use child-resistant latching mechanisms or completely block access, and pair them with cable anchors or covers where children can reach.
- If your outlets are “plug-head heavy”: choose a cover with larger interior clearance or a layout designed to accommodate bulky transformer plugs, so you do not end up forcing the lid or stressing connections.
FAQ
Can this cable organizer fit any power strip?
It is designed to fit many common power strips and surge protectors, but fit depends on your strip’s overall size and plug heads. Smaller power strips and surge protectors are more likely to fit cleanly than bulkier models with large outlet attachments.
Is it truly child-proof?
The design is intended to act as a barrier to help protect from contact with plugs and wires, but it is not child-proof. In toddler situations, plan on additional supervision or extra safety measures.
Does it make it hard to plug and unplug devices?
Because there is a lid and side openings for cable routing, you can access the power hardware and keep cables connected more conveniently than with fully enclosed covers.
What is included in the 2-pack?
You receive two boxes, a large size and a medium size, in black.
Where is this best used?
It is best for hiding bulky cords and organizing power strip areas behind TVs, in computer workstations, and around other home electronics setups where cords tend to look cluttered.
Bottom line
The YANWEN two-size cord organizer box is a practical way to hide power strips and reduce visible cable clutter, with a lid and side openings that support real-world access and routing. Just be careful about clearance for your specific power strip and do not assume the “child-safe” barrier prevents children from opening it.
