Resetting up my Sonos Arc and wondering if the included Arc cable is in wall rated. Also, would I be able to be use a Rocketfish 4K in-wall instead?

I’m not a fan of Rocketfish either, not only overpriced, but I question their quality. I’ve had trouble with their stuff in the past, but then again, I suspect they have many different manufacturers, especially in China, so the quality might be extremely variable. Some might be bad, some might be excellent, hard to tell. 


I’ve got several HDMI cables from MonoPrice.com in my walls, been there for years and still working. I think they now sell on Amazon as well as direct.

 

Here then pick your fire rating from the list at the left.

I would guess probably not, but since it’s low voltage wiring, I would not be too worried about it.  Then again, a replacement in wall rated wire is pretty cheap an easy to acquire.  Rocketfish is overpriced in my opinion.


I doubt that it’s in-wall rated because rated cable is stiffer.

 


Another cable you guys recommend then?
