Peters answer is the best. If you are not a professional installer do not hassle with different types of cables and connectors.

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.

Unfortunately, they are not rated for in-wall installation.I contacted Twisted Vein, and they relayed that their cords were not Fire Rated.The outer, braided, cover on the cords protects the cords from damage...(A feature I like, by the way.) ...but this material does not have a CL2 or CL3 rating, for in-wall installation.---

It isn't in wall certified but yes you can. Cl2 and 3 rated cables are for in wall. The difference is in the cable's jacket and shielding. Cl2 and 3 rated cables have to be fire retardent and be non-toxic when burned.

This cable (10 ft) is not in wall rated, however the BlueRigger site on Amazon lists a number of cables that are wall rated. The 10 ft cable has a nylon braided cover and it looks like the wall rated cables have a solid PVC jacket. Look for the code CL3 Rated. The bend radius for the 10 ft cable is about 2.75 in.

For an interior installation, no. If you are going to run it outside (unlikely with HDMI cable) you should enclosing in metal or PVC conduit.

If this is for a residential installation it doesn't matter since this is a low voltage cable as most low volt cables are compliant in residential homes. If this is for a commercial building then it will need to be plenum rated which this cable is not, so it is not suitable for commercial application.

I wouldn't trust it in walls. I bought two and one of them was DOA and after you've installed it in wall and it fails, you're screwed.. run cat5/6 and use baluns... the right ones will carry an IR signal to your box as well, sure they cost more but they're easier to replace than ripping up your walls and replacing this garbage HDMI cable.

This is only intended to be used as a "pass through" for wiring&gt; I used it to pass some USB and HDMI wires through a wall. It is not intended to support anything.

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!!

Communication wire has few restrictions for in-wall use. This wire is rated for use in walls, and has a nylon braided jacket on it. They seem very sturdy. Remember to run parallel to any line voltage (120 Volts), at a distance of 1 foot, and cross over line voltage wires at a perpendicular angle, when necessary. This will cut down on the amount of interference picked up from the line voltage.

I doubt it, it is not shielded and nor is it specifically fire rated. But it's also not carrying any current so personally I think it's a grey area but if you are concerned about potential fire then get something CL3 Rated for In-wall Installation.

The VW-1 rating on this cable indicates that it complies with fire safety codes and insurance requirements and is safe for use inside the walls of residential class buildings. (source: monoprice.com)
