Can someone help me with what I need to hide cables through wall

[MrPirate2882]

Okay i'm getting my wall mount tomorow but I want to hide some of my cables in the wall can someone tell me what I need to wrap the wires and the little plastic holes that push in the wall to give it a clean look. Can you tell me the names of these things as well as other things that might be the easiest things to do thank you.

If you can do it, conduit is your best friend. If not, you could always pick up some wire loom or something similar.

Home Depot or Lowes

Go to your favorite hardware store. Back by the electrical wire, you'll see everything you need to wire a house. Fish tape, speaker wall terminals, outlets, banana plugs, etc... Tell the clerk what you want to do, and they'll set you up. I haven't tried conduit. Great idea. I hate insulation! Love crawl spaces!

I have run speaker cable and cable wire through walls. For a nice clean look there are fitting and fixtures available that can be found at Home Depot. The fittings for speakers are banana plug connections on the outside wall side and bare wire to held by a threaded locking pin on the interior. The cable connectors are female receptacles on both sides. These just plug into a small mounting bracket which then snaps into a wall plate that is very similar to an electrical outlet plate. Nice, neat, easy and relatively cheap.

Here are some examples of what the previous posters are talking about.

Fish tape: http://www.*****************/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=360-420

Wall plates: http://www.*****************/webpage.cfm?&DID=7&WebPage_ID=251

As was previously posted, you can find these things at most local, or chain, hardware stores; Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, etc.


Good Luck!

Sorry, I forgot that Parts Express links don't post here. Anyway, If you go to Parts Express and search "fish tape" and "wall plates" you will come up with the things that you are looking for.
