It's my understanding that in-wall cables are designed to 1) meet building code requirements and 2) to have a "slippery" jacket covering to allow installers to more easily pull wire through wall openings.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In wall cable runs can be subject to ground loop electric hum. This cable takes care of it completely.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.An in wall cable is a cable that has an "in wall" fire rating. Both type of cables transfer the LFE (low frequency effects)(Bass tones) signal the same. In wall cables are generally more expensive.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.In most parts of the country, if a cable is installed "in-wall" i.e. behind the dry wall, without a conduit, it must meet a specific building code. For most residencies, this would be Class 3, or CL-3. An "in-wall" cable has a PVC jacket that meets or exceeds the CL-3 rating. Typically, as only longer cables are used "in-wall" the shorter lengths of many models of cable in our product line (subwoofer, HDMI, Ethernet, for example) use a braided jacket (which is not CL-3 rated) and the longer lengths use a CL-3 rated PVC jacket. Internally, both versions of the cable are exactly the same. It's only a cosmetic difference.
