Q&A

1 question already asked

Can this be used with a standard HDMI cable or does it require a cable for in wall use? And how is it recommended to fish wires through insulation?

i used a standard 10ft HDMI (high quality) between cable box and tv. The ELM806 is in an interior wall with no insulation. I installed a different model in an outside wall with a fire block that i had to expose and cut notches to get 2HDMI and the power cord through. The cables there are run between the sheetrock and insulation. These installs were undertaken during renovations by a contractor. Works great but choosing the right wall mount for your TV is critical - too close to a corner with a swivel/tilt can severely limit accessibility to the HDMis behind the tv. Good luck The install is simple and quick. take car in cutting your walls but sheetrock is easy to repair and repaint.

The correct answer is any cable you run in the wall should be UL listed and approved for that use. However I am sure many people use a normal HDMI cables with no issues. Fishing the wire was easy for me, I used an old metal coat hanger and it snaked between the drywall and insulation with no issues. Overall a very easy install and highly recommended.

Yes I have 4 Hdmi cables in my wall . U can use a cable wire or u could use a electrical fish tool u could get from harbor freight or just use a coat hanger my home is new so it was pretty easy to move the insulation I used a cable wire and I taped it to all my cables and pulled from top to bottom one shot gool luck

You can put the HDMI wire through the the opening and pass through the wall to come out of the other open on the bottom connector. The power source is for 110v

I used a standard, though new, HDMI cable; and all works fine. Mine is on an outside wall . . . so I used a fish tape from the lower housing to the upper housing . . . and pulled the cable back down. I also pulled a couple extra pieces of string along with the cable for future use. Hope this helps.
