The connectivity solution you choose should be suitable for the location of the source and display. Some through-wall installations may require wall plate components or may benefit from easy pull solutions.
The distance the video signal needs to travel also helps determine the type of solution you need. For example, if your source and display are hundreds of feet from each other, you might need an over Cat5 solution.
Building codes vary by municipality. The codes in your community may define how cabling needs to be run between spaces, especially in ceilings, between floors and through walls. For example, cables may need to be run in conduit.
Codes may also define what type of cable is used in a particular application. For instance, some installations require plenum-rated cable. Always check local building codes when planning your connectivity solution.
