Can A 12V Power Supply Wire Be Run Through A Wall?

In typical usenet fashion we have taken a simple question to absurd lengths Yep...that's why I've been sitting back watching you guys hash this out. but I doubt the listing includes the ability to penetrate walls, ceilings or floors. 1&2 family is pretty much immune from inspections as long as there is no open permit but I guarantee you, in a commercial building or a multi family, this would get tagged. I already said, in the grand scheme of things this is not a baby killer but it is still questionable as a code issue. My thoughts exactly. In any case, the issue was resolved in another manner since I asked the question. The device is the controller box for a 4 camera WiFi security system. The location where it was going to be placed was the only place where it could consistently communicate with all 4 cameras. A deeper reading of the manual revealed that you can program the cameras to talk to/through each other, as opposed to each one talking directly to the controller. e.g. Place the controller in Location A and all 4 cameras can communicate with it, but the power wiring is an issue. Place it in Location B and only Cameras 1, 2, and 4 can reach it, but the power wiring is not a problem. Now, program Camera 3 to send its signal to Camera 4 and let Camera 4 forward the video to the Controller. Problem solved and no need to run wires through a wall or ceiling. OK, now for the next question: - Camera mounted on exterior wall. - Hole drilled through exterior siding and interior drywall. - 12V wire from wall wart passed though hole to camera. Straight shot, maybe 6", no sleeve, no box. - Mounting plate on camera covers the hole in exterior wall. - RG6 style bushing used in interior drywall hole. Thumbs up or thumbs down? |

The wall wart wire through the wall will give some of the guys "code fits" - but as I've posted before, there is no code issue unless you have aluminum or steel siding in which case you really want either a sleave or a grommet. |

ROFL Just a few posts ago you told us there was no code covering Class 1, Class 2, period. |
