When you mount a TV on the wall, a cable raceway is what hides the dangling wires and gives the install a finished, built-in look. These channels stick or screw to the wall, conceal power and signal cables inside, and many are paintable to blend right into the room. They deliver much of the clean look of in-wall wiring without cutting into drywall. This guide compares cable raceways for home theater installs. We look at channel capacity, adhesive versus screw mounting, paintable finishes, and corner and joint pieces so you can route wires from a wall-mounted screen down to your gear and keep the whole setup looking sharp.
