Why Cannot AC Power Line/Cord be Threaded In-Wall? What would happen if I just ignored this rule and threaded the power cord along with the HDMI cables through the wall using a pair of these Datacomm Electronics 45-0002-WH Gang Recessed Cable Plates?

Your house would immediately burn down! Just kidding. It would likely never cause a problem especially if a heavy duty extension cord with good insulation was used, but it is, as you know, against code. Best to just suck it up and get the Datacomm kit with the power outlet and install that, or have it installed.

They expect you to have the wall to adaptor cable. Makes it cheaper and not as difficult to sell since they don't need the particular outlet style. However, I bought two of them and one arrived with a cable for the wall and the other did not. Not sure what their reasoning was...

Hi! I know that the video published with the intent to market this item is interesting and promotes this interesting idea that this plug can attached to a mounting plate in order to get rid of electrical cords, but I just could not accomplish this because my desktop table is made of solid plastic. I did not by item for the mounting plate, I bought it because I could plug the iPod Touch for instance and also because my big tension bar was gathering dust. Additionally, it simply seems to me too that I did not receive screws with the mounting plate, which is not a surprise at companies do try to save money, but as I am not sure at all of this fact I prefer saying to you that I do ignore the presence of screws in the packaging at first. In the case you took the time to take a look at the wholes in the mounting plate, they are about 2 millimeters large, then you have to find screws that fit in a whole measuring 2 millimeters. It is that simple. 2 short screws able to fit in this size. I have that size at home and it should do the thing I am sure. Good luck with your assemblage of the whole thing, and have a good day!

There are two areas that have enough room to put cables through. One is on one of the lower shelves (under where the monitor would go) and the other is on the lower right back wall area for the power cables, etc. Seems to work fine for me.

The cord is flush with the bottom of the device. The illustration has been cropped and only a half inch or so can be seen above the power switch. It can be wall-mounted using staples to hold the cord to the wall if getting the cabinet closer to the wall is the objective. Even if the device has a straight plug, there are inexpensive adapters that allow for a side connection.

No problem for me. I usually place the reel about two feet from wall receptical. I have two feet of cord stuffed in the outlet of the reel "core" hole. First pull out 100 feet of cord, Second plug into wall [still running through the reel. After use, unplug from outlet, roll up on reel.

I'm sure you've made your decision by now, but one thing that appears to be an advantage for the Datacomm is that it has mounting screws near the cable access slots. The PowerBridge (which I have, and very much like) has the mounting screws to left and right of the electrical, but the far sides of cable access slots are sorta floating (which won't matter too much if walls are pretty flat.) Personally, I like the shape of the PowerBridge better (and that shape works better for my installation.) But, for some people, having a standard two gang outlet (which I assume the Datacomm is) might make things easier, down the road when things change.

Ah... I found these other answers confusing, but I have a similar one so it seems easiest to be to say... this is NOT an extension cord!Whatever you plug-in will just be piggy-back plugged right into where this plugs into the outlet, making it stick out of the wall double than usual essentially. The cord length is ONLY for switch-purposes.

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

This does not support surge suppression on HDMI. Unless you are running HDMI through the wall to get to your television, such suppression also should not be necessary provided you have surge suppression on the power delivery for all components, on the coax lines for cable/satellite, and any coax/phone lines for cable/DSL internet service.

Harold: Bought my unit two weeks ago and just installed it last night. My desk too is up against a wall... and it works just fine. As you expand the unit for standing, the legs stay put on your desk but the monitor platform moves forward... so a wall is no obstacle. That help?

I found the tilt feature very handy connecting the HDMI cable (which could be cables plural depending on your set-up) that I had running out of the wall via a powerbridge set-up. I also used it to ease plugging in the power cord which was plugged into already mentioned powerbridge. Regardless, with a TV of the size you are mentioning I would think the tilt feature is near essential to accomplish any connections once TV is hung, unless you have really long and skinny arms...hahaha. The last part was a joke, but seriously it will be handy. Keep in mind, once everything is connected you can put the TV at a neutral position and then lock it down. Hope this helps you with your decision. Cheers!

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.

The Power-line adapters have to be plugged into the wall jack/ outlet directly. However some might work for a period of time if plugged into power strip, then you would have to find a way to plug them into the wall. also keep in mind, if you have a house that was extended and it has two patch panels for electricity. you will not be able to get the adapters to work. all the best, I love these little guys, they work wonders!

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.

Dear Mike,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger HDMI cables!. Electronically, both cables are the same. The non-braided cables are designed to be run through conduits behind walls since they have the extra shielding.Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com
