Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater C14 plug & hooking up a UPS

The thought is that I have a TV in the main family room mounted on the wall over top of the NG fireplace. It is not possible to run the power cord for the TV outside the wall down to a UPS. Right now I have a recessed NEMA15 plug on the wall that uses normal electrical in wall wire to connect to the electrical pannel in the basement.

I am installing another TV in the basement HT room. Again, it will be wall mounted and I don't want the power cord for that TV running outside along the wall. It is another NO GO for me.

But those power cables for the TV are not fire rated nor are they allowed to be run inside the wall. So how do you connect a wall mounted TV to a UPS??

My thought as I tried (and it seems failed) was to use normal in wall electrical cable just like normal. Put on a standard recessed NEMA15 electrical outlet behind the TV just like you normally would. Except, instead of running the cable to the electrical panel, run it to another wall outlet behind the UPS. Now the problem is how to get the power from the UPS electrical outlet plugs, to that recpetical outlet on the wall. Now I know I have seen it somewhere and said, wow that's a great idea. I saw someone use a C14 style outlet. As you are trying to put electricity to the outlet, rather than getting it.
