Can this wire be used for in-wall installation? Thanks!

I don't see why not, It is not plenum rated(low smoke and flame) so I wouldn't use it in Air ducts/passages.

Yes. You must consider most importantly the length of the run. I usually only run a max of 50ft for 16G and use heavier wire (14-12G) for runs of 100ft or more.

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.

yes. mounting is not the strength of this power strip. we ended up using adhesive to attach it to a wall.

I install for a living... there is nothing wrong with either way, wire that comes with is rated CMR which is fine for in wall use. Though at 100W 16/2 is the best option.

No, my audio contractor just marked the area where the speaker wire needed to come out of the wall and the drywall installers were careful of that location. So no, i can't see a situation where you would really need it.

You can use this switch in an installation with only 2 wires. I have used a few of these devices over many years. While they are very handy, to me they seem to be fragile and sometimes die during/after a storm. I like them because they work in a normal wall box.Allen

Hi Walter, I am afraid that it can not be used for that wall, since the thickest door thickness our product support is 35-105mm. If the thickness over that range, then the connection wire will be not long enough to connect the outdoor camera to the indoor monitor, and the outdoor and indoor part can not be fixed by the pole screws.

No the cable is adquately sheilded . Unless the building code where you live requires the use of conduit . If you want to not see the cable you can use the hdmi recepticle plate and run the excess cable in the wall.

I would try HARD to make those wires fit in the small holes. U have to have the wires freshly stripped and twisted tight to obtain the smallest possible diameter. Also make sure the screws on the adapter holes are screwed all the way out to create the largest possible diameter hole. Take your time and u can do it. If your wires in the wall are larger than standard 16 ga., you could trim off a little of the wire thickness to make it fit. Remember to twist the wires TIGHT to get them to fit.

Its better if you do....You could just wrap the wires but you want a good connection....I did, does not take much....I think it took me a whole 10 minutes to install....

They can be installed as an In-wall but they are generally used in ceiling applications. They will not likely provide the base than comparable in-wall would.

Physically, yes you can BUT building codes prevent you from running usual appliance power cords through walls , I guess they are not rated for in-wall use. I've had to have an electrician install a (sunken) outlet behind the TV. IMHO it's worth the expense for peace of mind.

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.---

If you want to give it a professional look, then yes, but the wire is super thin so you can easily pass it under a door. I drilled a hole in my downstairs wall leading outside, ran the wire up the wall to the second floor, where i drilled another hole bringing it back into the house. Then I sealed the holes with some silicone to protect from small bugs and moisture. The thin wire is basically against the outside wall but is virtually unnoticeable.

I don't see why not.. I've never tried it that way.. My electrical outlets utilize only one center screw to hold its protective wall cover..

Unsure about wire that may be burried. Suggest you call manufacturer and discuss with them for a definitive answer.

Yes these cables are for installation concealed in walls. The ones I installed passed our commercial electrical inspection.
