Cabling for High-quality Home Theatre Installation

A home theatre provides an opportunity to enjoy audio and video equipments at home similar to experience of being in a movie theater. Cabling – that connects all equipments such as an HDTV or A/V source – is an important component of the home theatre. The main goal of cabling installation is to ensure high-quality multimedia experience.  However, aesthetic part of cabling installation is also very important i.e. installation should be clean and professional looking. For example, cables must be concealed from view. The other important issue is the fire safety; installation – that run through walls, behind baseboards, under floors – in most jurisdictions should be (National Electrical Code or NEC) code-compliant.

For the planning purposes, the installer should determine first what types of signals – component, DVI, composite, HDMI, s-video – should run to the display. DVI and HDMI cables – as opposed to RF modulated video cables – are the most important as they carry digital information and perfectly suitable for today’s high-quality video (and audio) experience. Next, the installer should consider what type of runs such as in-wall or through ceiling runs or just patch cabling, should do the job best. Cable concealment and routing planning should take into account how and where signals enter the home theatre room; lines from outside sources, such as a satellite dish, an off-air antenna, or a CATV system. The other important considerations for cable installation:

• In-wall conduits through which the installers can pull cables as needed. For future-proofing, the installer should consider the largest conduit possible that the wall cavity will accommodate.
• For home wiring, cable jackets should have NEC ratings printed.  These are CMP, CL3P, CL2P, CMR, CL3R, CL2R, CM, CMG, CL3, CL2, CMX, CL3X, CL2X, CATV, CATVR, CATVP, CATVX.
• Use of a pass-through wallplate jack that allows a device being connected using another cable from the jack.
• Use of cables that match the color of the room, in particular walls.
