What is meant by "in wall" for the HDMI cable? null

It is used for home theaters and through or "IN WALL" installations of cabling systems for tv's and entertainment devices. If you wire free air (inside the room) then a regular HDMI cable will work. For all inside wall routes you should consult the electrical code to determine the correct classification.The major difference is the size of the wires and the condition of the insulation (flame resistant etc). If your house is burning down because the flames started in a cable raceway and you used the wrong cable in accordance to code then the insurance will fight the claim and you get nothing.

It means the cable is certified to be used in a wall if you choose to do so. It has a different safety specification that would be necessary if you plan to install in behind say a drywall.

It means that is fire rated to be used behind the sheetrock inside the wall with one of the cable elimination kits. Cut two holes in the wall and run cables inside the wall so you don't see them.

A lot of the time people like to put a surge protector behind the wall of a TV installation. Hence, In-wall. I have noticed this term a little more often. Ask a home theatre rep at Best Buy to explain further. It's a reasonable option to assume this should be a "in-wall" at this point in the extension strip evolution though.

It comes with a HDMI cable to use with your divices you choose to use it with. No special meaning by "in wall". The surge protector has usb connection spots on it too with regular 3 prong hole conection. Hope this helps.
