And here is a picture from another thread:
And one in the Classifieds for $1,995:

Look close - the middle one shows a wire going to the door frame, right above the hinge. Guess the seal is enough cushion to prevent pinched wire?

| The wire goes through a hole in a seam inside the jamb there. |

The middle one is the original that the others for sale don't have that. |

Can't see the shiny chrome one's ad, but the other in thsamba classifieds has a photo (#4) of slot where wire comes out, in the underside of the elbow.
