I had to wrap the cable around the mounting bracket for the soundbar and back to the power connection. I then used a cable zip tie to do the rest.

I had the same question regarding the sound bar cable slack. Excess TV power cable can be coiled and zip-tied behind the TV or just looped over your TV mount. I called Legrand support, and they directed me to the installation instructions available by searching WMC801 at Legrand.us. The conclusion is that you need a power supply for your sound bar like the one shown in the illustration from the instructions below - with a rectangular transformer, high voltage input cable, and low voltage output cable. There's nowhere to hide the excess wire if you have the AC power cord like the ones that come with most TVs. You plug the splitter into the top module and plug in the TV and sound bar power to it. You'd need to coil the excess and attach the transformer box to the wall or the TV. Then you run the low voltage cable (round-ended plug) through the top module, behind the wall, to the center rectangular module, pulling just enough through to reach the sound bar. Optical cable runs the same route.

If I understand correctly, you are referring to the cords and cables that will be outside of the wall. Those can be concealed using some of our other cord management kits, such as the CMK30 or the C910 (see links below for details). The soundbar kit does not include any channels for concealing cords and cables outside the wall.

You position the boxes behind where your cords will come out of the box and feed everything behind the wall. The only thing that is visible is the cord that plugs into the wall outlet.
