Question:
Is it permissible to run a television power cord through a 2 1/2' chase in the drywall, with one remodel data cut in "box" behind the TV and one down low to hide cables for a wall mounted television?

A
Answer:
Hey Rick thanks for your question. No. Flexible cords are not allowed to be run through holes in walls as stated in 400.12(2) or be concealed in walls as stated in 400.12(5). Notice the additional words "power supply cords" in 400.12 of the 2017 NEC.
