Hi team , quick question , the Sonos hdmi cable I have for my beam 2 is too long , the beam sits in front of my TV and basically goes under the TV  to the hdmi socket , is it possible to coil up the hdmi cable and secure it with a velcro cable tie Or can I use any other shorter hdmi cable ?? Thanks

You can either coil the cable lightly, it’s wired so the issues around coiling optical cables don’t apply, or any HDMI eArc cable will work.

Yes, that should be okay due to the shielding on each cable.

When tying them do not crank down on the ties to where you crimp the cables, that can cause internal damage and much frustration.

I like Velcro to tie mine up for the most part, when there isn’t room I use Velcro One-Wrap that is a lot thinner and cheaper. It does come in pre-cut and black instead of green.
