Are you able to run the power cord through the wall. Is it necessary for me to have an outlet at the TV height.

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.

I was able to run the TV power cable, 4 hdmi, 1 toslink, and a cat 5 e cable though it. The power cable was similar to the that goes into a computer tower. I did have pull them through in 2 groups power first and the rest second.

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.

Running the power cord through the wall is against electrical code. In case of fire, your insurance company is likely to deny your claim. IMO someone needs to come up with a cheaper alternative to the Powerbridge outlets which apparently meet code, but can set you back $50 instead of $6 like this item.

Well, you COULD run the power cord thru the wall, but you'd be running afowl of electrical code. If you had a fire, your insurance would be nil (not to mention other possible liabilities).You could run exterior, flat, conduit (I've seen plastic at the hardware store) and paint it to match your wall. This would not be very noticeable.-Stan Smart

The plate installs flat against the wall I don't see how this would be possible nor safe.As another potential solution you can move the plate. I moved the plate directly behind the tv then installed the bar power cord in that hidden outlet. You can also buy a strip from Home Depot/lowes to hide the power cord as a cheaper solution.hope this helps.

Not directly, no. But it's easy if you just get a good quality extension cord long enough to reach the wall outlet, cut off the female end, split the two wires (carefully remove the rubber coating exposing the wires) and use plastic twist plugs and black electrical tape to connect them to the wires on the light unit. That's what I did several years ago; I placed it above a tall (9') bookcase and plugged it into a power strip that plugs into the wall outlet; it still works great.

For my purpose, hanging a 70in TV on top of a fireplace, I needed an outlet behind the tv. Plus I wanted to have a professional look with all wires behind the wall. So yes I had to run a power line from an existing outlet. This product helped me achieve that. Its also for old construction so no need for a stud.

Yes u could. Do what i did cut a hole in the wall where it sticks out in the back and for the power cord. Cut the end of your power cord and run it down the wall then splice it into a power outlet inside ur wall. Walah you can do anything you want to really. Use somr double sided hook and loop or velcro to attach and remove it from wall. Hope this helps.if u decide to do this let me know ill give u more info on how to do it properly

as long as your hand fits between your wall and tv you should be able to use it. you may have problems getting it on straight though and not sure where you would put the cords needed to work it however

Most TVs have plugs on the back but they're on an inverted shelf so that when you plug in a cable they hang straight down. If this is the case there should be no clearance problem. If the plugs direct the cable straight back into the wall there may be a problem but you still have about 2" to work with. Best of luck.

The power cord has a 90 angle and sticks out about a 1/2 inch from the TV.This TV will go flush flat against the wall. The power cord will not be a problem as there is no wall mount that is less then .5 inch .

You most certainly can. The plate will flush mount against the ceiling and you will then have a recessed area for your power cord and a clean run for your HDMI cables. Just make sure to properly anchor the plate to your ceiling. Enjoy the picture!

No but I think you could buy a plug and hard wire it and run the cord down from underneath it fairly easily as it's open at the bottom and top.

The power cord comes out of the unit on the front, lower, right corner and is just under 5' in length. It will be close but should reach. You may need to turn the outlet in the wall upside down.

It would be a very tight fit. Odds are if you're trying to run a cord through the wall you would have to use in-wall rated methods (i.e. set up a new outlet) to be code-compliant which would render this plate irrelevant.

Yes you can. the 2 pieces come apart and you can run the power cord along with video and audio cables.

Dear Natalya,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger 35 foot HDMI cable! The cable can be run behind the wall, but doesn't require a pipe like an electrical cable. We recommend keeping the cable away from any electrical cables to prevent signal interference.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

Yeah, I'm pretty sure power adapter is sold separately, so you'd have to deal with a cord at least. To answer your question, no, it does not plug in to the wall directly.

No, the outlet does not need to be visible. It will even work through walls.
