Can I run 2 cables from 1 socket each going to a different nearby room

I only intend to use one cable at a time and would like to connect
the 3 locations as a (triangular) ring, so that video can be sent in
different directions at various times.

I think you might end up fuzzying the signal as some of it will go A B
but some A C B, this may introduce ghosting. How bad this is depends
on how different the two path lenghts are.

Why not fit two sockets at each apex and cross plug (or loop) as
required? This ensures a single direct path for any connection.

Very good advice I guess but at the rate faceplates are going up on
these walls, I'm going to have some barely used buckets of magnolia
emulsion to sell on ebay. I think I might go for the s-video + audio
through cat5 cable option instead. Pricey hardware though.
