Great video! As a recommendation for a future video: I'd love to see some renter friendly DIY's that make a rented space feel more unique and like a home. Little touches to personalize a home or apartment that won't affect my deposit. Thank you!

Glad I found this I just moved my home office/workstation and don’t like the look of the cables. Now I have an idea of how to make it look nicer. Thank you.

Good information

As other comments have stated, running power cords through the wall is borderline dangerous at best… Especially since the aren’t secured to anything behind the wall. Hopefully, there’s no exposed nails sticking out or a stud or you remember it’s there when hanging that picture up in the room on the other side of that wall…

i was under the impression you cannot run power cables in the wall as demonstrated. Am I incorrect?

[@j10001]

You aren’t breaking any laws by doing that. It’s low voltage wire or it’s just an appliance/TV core. Electrical code applies to cables supplying outlets with power. *EDIT: I’m totally mistaken on this. See new comment below.*

[@RandallFlores86]

@@j10001 Its not just low voltage. the TV's power cable is among the cables passed through the low voltage box. I had to go back and double check before i even commented.

[@RobCreek]

Depends on the area, in general you can never run an extension cord but I see appliance power cables run through pass boxes a lot. If you’re worried about it, stick to hdmi and speaker cables in the pass
