My electrician only ran a 1/2" conduit in the wall of my new house. I can't fit a DVI - HDMI cable through it. My question is, is it possible to cut one of the connectors off, feed the cable through the wall and splice it back together? Or are there any other options? Thanks for helping a Newbie out! |

You don't really want to splice your HDMI or DVI connections. Cut bigger holes for new wallplates & get a HDMI to HDMI & DVI to DVI Wallplates. You will need additional cables, but you will also have a professional looking finish.

Thank You for the reply! The wall plates are not the issue though. The problem is that The connectors won't fit into the conduit. Wouldn't I still have the same problem if I went that route? Or am I missing something? |

Sorry, but I misunderstood your question. I didn't read your post correctly. I "snaked" my wires without running them inside of conduit. They are not high voltage. Is that possible on your end? |
