Is there a small bore scart lead?

Options
I want to mount a tv in the bedroom and dont want the wires showing.
Is there a scart lead that splits in the middle so I can drill a small hole (in the wall) to thread the lead rather than have to drill a large hole to put the full scart plug through.
Any help appreciated.

  • never heard of one, but there is this which would save any big holes!

    This type of product (a Scart/Phono-SVHS adapter ) may be worth considering if you can connect the separated video and audio channels that this device exposes. The individual phono or SVHS leads have a small diameter.

    Get the parts from Maplin and make your own, after feeding the cable through!

    Just need 2 scart sockets and a length of scart cable (about £2 a metre), then solder them up.

    Worked a treat for me when I had to do the same!

    You can buy Scart wall sockets. Fit one each side of the wall and solder a ribbon cable between them.

    Hi, might still be fiddly if feeding along inside a wall but one way is to buy 2 x scart to phono leads and also buy some phono to phono inline couplers. This is usually an easy way to get thro a wall from one room to another but not sure if you want to run along inside of wall. Also you would not get automatic scart switching and would have to select AV/EXT on the tv manually.
