Is this cable rated for in-wall installation?

No, it is not rated under any National Electrical Code for in-wall installation.

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 length might work (best to measure) but buy a different cable, as this one is junk (not CAT5 inside)

Scott, I do not believe that this wiring is rated for any such conditions as running it in areas where it is constantly exposed to adverse conditions. (Although I don't know this for a fact.) I do know that I personally went through quite a few sets of these leads due to damage of different sorts until I got wise enough to protect them in wire conduit, flex, or other wire raceways. My suggestion would be to use a different type of cables like a RG-59 coax combined with a bigger gauge power lead for any critical areas that might be exposed to bad conditions. (This is assuming that you have a little more room for wall penetrations, etc. because this other cable is quite a bit larger in diameter.) But they are rated for all adverse conditions without extra layers of protection needed, however these cables are not available from Amazon and are readily available from other sources. These bigger cables are what the professional security companies use whenever they are not installing a completely wireless system. Remember that these "videoSecu" or cables work just fine in ideal conditions BUT as I have stated in my review--------These cables are at most a bare-bones minimum gauge and insulation to get the job done. And I am a electrical contractor that knows wire and it's properties. I hope that this is of some help to you. NOTE: The other cables are more expensive but worth every penny if you are installing in exposed conditions or areas where possible damage due to temperature, U.V. rays, constant high humidity or wetness conditions exist.

I have a 50' HDMI cable, CL3-rated for in-wall installation. Display quality is excellent.

I'm not sure I can answer that question properly, but I will give it a try. Although it is thinner than other cables I have used, when I fished it up the wall to the TV port, I was not at all hesitant to pull on the cord when it snagged in the wall. It pulled through without a problem. Additionally, it felt really well built and solid .

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)

Yes. As with some of the comments on it not being of quality, I found it to be fine. Anyone not taking time to secure it to the wall will not be happy.

It is not the intended purpose. You could cut off the end, run the wire through the wall, then attached an in-wall female connection, but you are better off just getting a spool of cable, you get much more cable for the money and it saves you the annoyance of cutting off and wasting perfectly good cabled ends.

Paul,I would classify it as an "entry level" cable at best. I would certainly recommend something better.Eric C

I'm pretty sure it isn't. I know Lorex sells plenum rated cables, of course for a lot more money.

Max, Although some people will undoubtedly use this kind of wire for in-wall installation, they shouldn't. In-wall applications call for wire with a CL2 rating that indicates that the cable complies with fire safety and insurance requirements, making it safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings. You can identify these types of wire by the fact that the cable assembly is jacketed in a white, CL2-rated PVC material. People who use regular speaker wires for in-wall installation run the risk that if there is any fire (and not just those caused by equipment connected by the wire), your insurance company might not cover your losses, and there could be other penalties involved for violating local residential building codes. I recommend you buy the CL2-rated speaker wire instead.

I don't believe so. I have run the cable through interior spaces only without conduit: outside the home, I've kept it under the eaves and out of the weather, and for short runs, painting to match the colour of the home foe aesthetic reasons.
