Tv/cable box etc power cord. Do they make this?

[Gamble]

I'm looking for one of these 12 feet long, but curious if anyone has seen one that has 1 power connection and 2 or 3 plugs on it?
Would be nice to run 1 cord to plug in the cable box, tv and apple tv.

Ya dropping it down about 3 feet into the crawl space where I have an outlet there.

Make your own cable with solder and heat shrink

Every 'professional' place I've seen do a tv install does it the same way.
Never seen one actually pull conduit and an outlet up to behind the tv

I'm not sure where its been talked about on here but everyone seems to have the same answer that it is against code to put power behind the wall without conduit

yeah so technically speaking, a lot of people that hang TVs on walls break electrical code by running the power cable(s) behind/through the wall. Nobody ever bats an eye on the technicality . In Cook county, everything except low voltage must be in EMT conduit. Minimally, any wiring behind a wall needs to be in-wall rated to meet the NEC.

I know its not always feasible, but a dedicated outlet and A/V plate behind the TV is the way to go.

Yea I ran my power to the tv in the wall

I actually have a recessed clock outlet behind my tv for power. The ps4 on the other hand is ran in the wall to an outlet on the bottom.

Christ I'm a lazy bum and still ran shielded cable to an outlet behind my tv
