I'm in the building stages on my media room, I would basically like to have a headphone jack to plug into that's on the other side of the room from the equipment rack. Still in the framing stage, so can do whatever is needed from a wiring perspective. My original plan was to simply run 3.5mm cable (available from monoprice) in a soffit across the room to where I want the headphone jack to be. Then I started thinking (or overthinking), and had some questions:
1) are there any issues with driving a headphone signal that far? It would be about 25' + whatever the length of the headphone cord is.
2) I'm not sure whether 3.5mm cable is rated for in-wall use, but I kind of doubt it. What are my other options here.
I'm guessing someone has done this, so hoping for some insights.
Thanks.
