Can the body of my cable be outside?

Hello Alex, Yes the body of the cable can be outside. However the cable cannot be installed with direct burial underground. If you were feeding the cable through the ground, it would need to be fed through a PVC pipe. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

I ran my cable through a pond last year for about 60 LF, though not directly in the water. The soil was saturated with water. I have not had any issues. If needed you could run it through some PVC conduit through the creek, if would be otherwise exposed. This cable is as heavy duty as you can find.

Yes they can. I have mine installed outside. You can protect by using a rubber sleeve tape with almagamating tape when connecting your F type service cables.

Bob, I think any electrical component with the contacts exposed to the weather would not be suitable to be used outside. You would have to use parts specially designed for outside use.

Outdoors shouldnt hurt at all, however if you need a cable this long, it will not work without a signal booster

This cable is not designed to be in water but works great on the outside of the pipe.

I do not believe the cable is rated for outdoors, however I have installed the cable outside and I have not had any problems going on one year. Since it is the same cable on all outdoor BNC analog cameras , I do not see outside installation of this cable as a problem.

I would not recommend the cable for outside, use it inside only. I made my own wifi network to use my tablet, computer , or phone outside.

Don't run the cable where it could be stepped upon, bumped into or pulled. Other than that you can run it in much the same way you'd run outdoor TV coax or outdoor telephone cable. It has a good outdoor quality jacket. Hope this helps.

There is a small rubber piece that you can pull out of the way. Be sure to also route the cable through the little cutout on the "battery" portion of the adapter.

You're right, it is only the cable. I've only had it a couple of months but it's out in the rain and sprinklers and no problems so far.

Yes, my cable is about 75% out exposed to the elements, mostly the sun and its been working great since i got it

I personally would not use this outside, even though it has a cover on the wiring it is NOT a water tight compartment. You might be able to get away with a lot of silicone. I wouldn't risk it.

I don't believe so. I have run the cable through interior spaces only without conduit: outside the home, I've kept it under the eaves and out of the weather, and for short runs, painting to match the colour of the home foe aesthetic reasons.

yes you can it ok Its,just make sure the cable is stretch out because it can cause the cable to bend

While it may be mildly water resistant, it certainly is NOT water proof. You would want to run through conduit just like any other cables if you were to run outside.

Yes they can! I have quite a few wired outside. However, I would recommend wrapping them in duck tape and hinding the wires as a precaution. This keeps the mosture and weather away. I did this to all of the outdoor cameras and tucked all the wires inside the walls. Water is never a good thing when it comes to any electronic components and or wires.
