Hello, I am having a tv installed over a fireplace and the hdmi cables are going to go through the drywall. Do the hdmi cables have to be CL2 or CL3 rated? Would these Atrix hdmi 2.1 cables from GameStop work for needs? The cables say they are good for going through drywall but do not mention the CL2 or CL3. https://www.gamestop.com/gaming-acc...gh-speed-10-ft-braided-hdmi-cable/228562.html

Over a fireplace, I would err on the side of caution and get CL3 rating. You would have to locate the manufacturer of the cable and find out, or buy a clearly rated cable.
