Is this cable approved for in wall installations?

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.

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!!

Dear James, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI cable. Out 6 foot HDMI cable is not rated for in wall installation. Our in wall rated cables start at the 25 foot lengths.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

Certainly. It's good, sturdy, all-purpose wire. Just be sure to securely seal any holes if running it through the wall, or bugs and/or water may try to get in. ;) A drip loop may also be a good idea.

I use this cable in a portable charger plugged into the wall and it works fine for me.

Any connector will work with this wire. Thedeciding factor will be the wallplate into which the connector is to be mounted.

Dear Customer, Thank you for your question regarding our HDMI cables. While the 6.6 ft cable is not in wall rated, our 15 ft and longer cables are rated and are indicated by their CL3 rating on their product title and descriptions on the relevant product pages. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions. Thanks, BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

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

Should not be a problem, cable is durable enough. Local building electrical codes would be a factor if new construction install after electrical inspector signs off. otherwise go for it for neatness.

Lilli, First let me say that I am not an engineer or codes expert, but according to the manufacturer the powerbridge is code compliant. I can tell you this, the included wire that connects the two pieces is "in-wall" rated and you don't have to tie in to any existing electrical. The boxes included are also the same ones any electrician would use, so from a safety perspective there shouldn't be any worries. Again, I'm no expert, but I believe the fact that you don't tie into existing wires or junctions is what make this a code compliant do-it-yourselfer. If your concerned I would check with codes in your area, but the install is really simple if you have basic tools. Hope this helps you. Cheers!

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.

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

There are a few holes on the back used for bolting it to the wall, you may be able to use those holes to route your security cable.

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 think so. I used it for exterior and am sure it will hold up for a long time. In wall is much easier on the life of a cable because it doesn't have any outdoor elements that mess with it. It's also reasonably rigid so i think it will feed through walls nicely.
