Need longer 70" SHARP tv cord

dknopp

I have a LC-70LE845U Sharp TV and would like to plug it into my power conditioner but the the cord dont reach so I just have it plugged into the recessed outlet behind the TV. I called sharp and they said they do not make a longer cord for it. I am just wondering if any af you know where I could get one or what my next best option is besides an extension cord.

Basically you need a in wall extension cord. What us professionals use is something like this.

Basically you have a outlet behind the tv in a double gang with your low voltage side for HDMI , Cat 5 , etc. The High voltage is in a electrical box while the low voltage side is in a low voltage ring.
In the wall you have romex wire 14/2 or 12/2 15 amp or 20 amp. At the gear or head end side you have this setup again but a male end for a extension cord to be plugged into so you can protect your tv with your nice surge that protects all of your gear.

You can't just put a extension cord in the wall , they are not CL2 or CL3 rated for in wall use. If you have a fire , this will void your home owners insurance. Using a in wall power kit is a closet circuit and safe and rated to be in wall as Romex is used.
