Projector power cable & conditioner?



I'm going with a ceiling mounted PJ. I'm also using the 'can' where a light fixture used to be for it's power supply which is also switched.

Are there power cables better suited to video which aren't pricey? A 15A IEC about 7 - 8ft will be needed.

Also is there some 'in wall' (ceiling) smallish power conditioner that is beneficial for projectors?

There sure isn't much room up in there for something like a stand alone super outlet.... and it'll need to be hard wired into the existing wiring, and only needs one 115v outlet.... in fact if it can be 'hard' wired on both sides, feed & supply, that will be even better.

I wonder if you could wire in a IEC plug directly to the house wiring?? Then plug that into the conditioner. Can get the parts at any hardware store, Lowes, etc. Would bypass the outlet and extra PC that way. Need to make sure it doesn't violate electrical code, etc. For the Soloist, it would wire directly into the romex, then still only need one PC.

Sure. That is do-able within the NEC standards. however space is at a real premium. Boxes such as Hydras, Ultimate outlets, etc. likely won't fit. The Soloist seems viable... and I've one other resource to investigate.

The only wire exposure I want if possible is that portion which makes up to the PJ itself, dropping out of the channel immediately above and behind it. All else needs to be unseen. Consequently I'd wish no outlet exposed either, and just make up inside the ceiling pancake box I'll paint and surface mount over the existing hole where the chandelier used to be.

OK How's about anyone ever find somehow or somewhere, a power cable more suited to video... ???
I put on my Sony projector a PS Audio Prelude cable I had laying around. The picture quality jumped out at me: more vibrant and solid imaging, deep and beautiful color and more "pop" and vibrancy. Definitely recommended! Also, this was plugging this into the tail end of a 50ft, thick gauge, Home Depot extension cord (12AWG).

Good luck,
