Can I pass an appliance cord through an interior wall that is open to studs on the other side?

I'm setting up a plan for electronics and would like to hide the surge protecting power bar in the utility room on the other side of the finished family room. The wall in the utility room is open as there are junctions. I know you can't have a power cord to an appliance in a closed wall, but what if it is open to the other side?|||What are you going to do when you have to close up that wall? Check with your local electrical codes.





Could run dedicated circuits that you can run your electronics off on? You can use surge protecting outlets or put the entire house on surge protection. That'll give you another layer of protection for everything including expensive kitchen appliances and computers too.|||It will work. Just don't pinch the cord.
