Using Cord Covers to Hide Audio & Video Cables

Using Cord Covers to Hide Audio & Video Cables
Installing cord covers to organize, hide and protect your home theater cables and cords is a job you can easily do yourself with Wiremold’s CordMate® or CordMate II series of products. CordMate protects one cord, while the larger CordMate II will conceal several cords or cables. The exact number depends on the diameter of your cables.

This project guide will show you step by step how to install CordMate II cord cover in your home theater to keep your cables organized and safely tucked away from pets, kids or the vacuum cleaner.

After installation, the covers can be painted with latex paint to blend with your décor.
