Cable management

[uemjg]

I'm new here and currently in the middle of setting up my HT system in my bedroom and I am in need of a cable management system with the following specs:

1. large enough to hold HDMI cable, sat. cable and other a/v cables

2. Surface mount to the wall where as the cover can be removable.

3. Decorative cover, ie. Chrome finish, etc.

Any suggestions?

thanks.

Uemjg;
How do you pronounce that? Anyway, about cable wrangling, I got some satisfaction (expensively) at Home Depot in the form of baseboard molding that is hollow and hinged at the bottom. It comes white, but I was able to spray paint it to match my theater. It can carry an HDMI cable and speaker cable, but I doubt it could hold those "structured Wiring" bundles, or the network of coax that so many computer and gamer types end up with. It comes with drywall anchors and screws, which is overkill, IMO. The cover snaps into place, and looks like any other molding. The problem is price. I think it was something like ten bucks/five foot section. No big deal when compared to the cost of my theater, but this stuff adds up. You may be able to utilize it in short runs to hide wire in conspicuous areas. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your AV endeavor.

that's the stuff

The wiremold product called Cablemate is the molding I referred to. It's pretty inconspicuous. Hope that helps
