Visible & Concealed Cable Routing
A clean installation starts and ends with proper wire control. We eliminate the unsightly wire nest of power cords, HDMI lines, coaxial cables, and ethernet wires running between your TV and media components. Using high-density wire wraps, hook-and-loop bundling straps, or color-matched surface raceways, we bundle, route, and trace every single line so every wire is secured, hidden, and tracked for a clutter-free look.
Digital & Legacy Cable Connections (HDMI, Optical & Analog)
Navigating the clutter behind your setup requires knowing exactly which cable does what. While modern smart TVs rely on HDMI and optical audio cables, older devices like vintage turntables, classic game consoles, or legacy receivers use red, white, and yellow RCA cables that cannot plug into today's screens. We supply and integrate the exact cable types, phono preamps, and analog-to-digital converters needed so your classic equipment plugs cleanly into modern digital setups without signal loss.
In-Wall Power Bridge & Outlet Concealment
To prevent the main black TV power cord from dangling down the wall to a low outlet, we route power directly behind the display using code-compliant, recessed power bridge kits. This hides the high-voltage connection entirely out of sight behind the mount, giving you a clean, cord-free wall while providing safe, direct power to the TV and attached streaming hardware.
Media Control Center & Component Layout
Once the cables are routed and managed, we organize the physical equipment at the end of those cable runs. Cable boxes, satellite receivers, game consoles, streaming sticks, and turntables are arranged cleanly inside or on top of your media console, cabinet, or floating shelves. We ensure proper spacing so components don't overheat, and position infrared sensors so your remotes continue to signal smoothly through cabinet doors.
Our Cable Routing Process
- Trace all existing power, video, and audio cables
- Identify legacy analog signals vs. modern digital connections
- Install in-wall power bridge or surface raceways where requested
- Route and bundle cables using high-density loom and straps
- Connect converters or adapters for turntables and legacy gear
- Organize components in cabinet/console with proper airflow
- Label cable terminations for easy client identification
- Test input switching and verify clean cord-free appearance
Customer-Supplied Equipment & Converters
We work with customer-supplied cables, components, and media equipment. If your setup requires specialty converters (such as RCA-to-HDMI adapters or phono preamps for turntables) or in-wall power bridge kits, let us know beforehand or we can help guide you on the exact items needed prior to installation.
Simple Hourly Pricing
Wire Concealment & Cable Management is Wire Concealment & Cable Management $80/hr. Actual time depends on the number of components, whether cables are being concealed in-wall, and the complexity of signal converters involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you hide the main TV power cord if there isn't an outlet behind the screen?
We install a code-compliant in-wall power bridge kit. This routes a recessed outlet directly behind your TV mount and drops an extension link down inside the wall to connect to your existing baseboard outlet, safely hiding all high-voltage cords.
Can I connect my old turntable or vintage stereo to a new Smart TV?
Yes. Because modern TVs lack red and white analog RCA inputs, we integrate inline phono preamps and analog-to-digital audio converters. This allows your classic turntable or stereo gear to output crisp sound through modern HDMI or optical TV connections.
What is the difference between in-wall concealment and surface raceways?
In-wall concealment routes low-voltage HDMI/audio cables and power bridges inside standard hollow drywall for a 100% invisible look. Surface raceways are paintable, flat wire channels attached externally along the wall — ideal for brick, concrete, or rental properties where wall cutting isn't allowed.
Do I need to buy special HDMI or optical cables before you arrive?
If you already have long enough cables (typically 6ft to 10ft for in-wall runs), we will use them. If your current cables are too short or missing modern specs like HDMI 2.1 or optical audio, let us know when scheduling so we can ensure the proper lengths are available.
Will my remote control still work if my cable box or Apple TV is hidden in a cabinet?
Bluetooth and Wi-Fi remotes (like Apple TV, Firestick, or modern Xfinity remotes) work through closed cabinet doors automatically. For older infrared (IR) equipment, we can set up compact IR repeater devices so your remotes signal through solid wooden doors without leaving the cabinet open.
