Is cable rated for in wall installs?
168621
I have checked the specs for this product but cannot find a statement for in wall ratings. The following link will give all specs and the contact info for their tech department (http://www.mediabridgeproducts.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=509&idcategory=138). If it is rated for in wall it would be a great purchase. Mine works very well with no issues to date.

Code says no. You can buy cords that are insulated and safe to run behind drywall. you'd plug tv cord to insulated cord OUTSIDE of wall and then let insulated plug end run thru gang plate, behind wall & come out of 2nd plate near floor & attach to surge protector. I used a set of these plates & insulated cord for small monitor mounted on inside uninsulated wall. But for 2nd TV job I realized by the time i purchased insulated power cord etc. I was almost at the cost of a power bridge. Powerbridge have recessed holes like these for hdmi, cat 6, rca etc and they have an attached power outlet. The 2 powerbridge boxes 1 behind tv 1 near outlet have an insulated power cord that you just plugs into the back of each (no electrical experience needed) that cord is hidden behind the wall with you other cables. Your TV plugs into your new recessed outlet & then they usually come with a short cord to plug to connect lower box to your walls floor level power outlet. Some kits come with equipment to fish cables thru etc. I bought a "Legrand In-Wall Power Kit for Flat-Panel TV" on ebay for $24.00 it was larger than i wanted but cheaper than smaller ones. Good luck. If you do use these DataComm boxes & you are handy you can install them using a 1 & 1/2" spade drill bit instead of sawing square hole & using mounting brackets(not included). Just drill a hole above another hole overlapping by 1/4" making a figure 8 hole & these pop right in. I used a little power grab, you may need some light duty plastic drywall anchors.

Yes it is... We just built a brand new home and the electrician ran this wire from above our fireplace across the wall and down to our media shelves (all ran through the studs). Our electrician was asking how much I paid for each of these HDMI cables because of how long they are and the quality of the wires (he thought I paid over $80 each). I used these in all of the bedrooms and in the family room as well! I plan on using these again!!

The packaging does not state anywhere a cable rating. But I use "C2G / Cables to Go 27150 Cat6 Snagless Patch Cable, Black (1 Foot/0.30 Meters)" patch cable which is a cat6 rated cable with no issues I've noticed.

Yes it can be used for in-wall installation. Make sure to test the signal quality before installing it and it is recommended to use cable conduits and avoid cable ties in case something happens and there is a need to remove the cable! (damaged ends, nailed cable, AV setup relocation.. etc)

I wouldn't. There is no indication that this cable is rated for in-wall use, much less riser or plenum. Using cable that is not rated for in-wall use inside a wall in your residence risks having any fire insurance claims rejected. Even worse, this is copper clad aluminum, which is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper wire, so the cable will generate more heat than copper, which could create a fire, depending on how much power you are putting through it and the total cable length.

Nope. It's just a regular HDMI cable. It's rated for in wall installation, which just means it has some type of fire resistant property. It's a very good cable for a very good price!

Depends on what you have in the wall. In our case we did the electric from start, so we had no issues. As a rule of law they should respect the industry standards. The best place to ask is Lowes. They have them and can properly answer the question. Their price is higher than Amazon.

I've used this cable throughout my new house... I didn't realize it was underground rated... NP though and the price was still right... Had issues with some quad connectors not fitting, but that's on them, not the cable.

I would say that one can purchase as high a quality cable as this one without the braided jacket for a lot less. It seems to me to be overkill to use this in the walls. The key feature of the braided casing is that it lies flat, doesn't bunch up, and looks neat.

This response is directly from Mediabridge support: "In-Wall certified means that the cable has been submitted to "Underwriters Laboratories", a for-profit testing center that submits the cable to a vertical flame test to see how the cable performs while in a fire. We see no value in the test so we do not participate. Our raw materials manufacturer that makes the body of our 50ft HDMI cable has already had the material tested so we keep that rating but all other cables we sell are not submitted by choice." Hope this helps you out! James

I saw no such marking on the cable but you may look on the website and call them. Since this is used to connect two devices and not very long, are you putting it in a wall? check this link for support phone number. It is a very good, sturdy, flexible cable. http://www.mediabridgeproducts.com/store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=202

No, must of the TV's are disigned to use on the wall, so the cables run from back, side and under.

The cables that are included in this system are thin gauge, non insulated and non UL rated . If they cross over an AC line in the walls you may see interference on the cameras. In that case use the UL rated and fully shielded cables to prevent RFI....( QSVRG series cables )

Sorry Marc I can't help with your question as mine's was fine. I would suggest seeing if the wall plate fits the metal part that hides the cables and holds the glass shelves and if the screw holes line up. If it does run with it
