Is this wire safe to run in the attic and walls?

As long as you are using it as it is intended. This wire is "audio cable" and is safe to run in walls and attic (It's running in mine). I am not a professional; however I have run a lot of speaker wire in my life and have never had any type of an issue with safety. This particular wire is a heavy gauge and heavily insulated as well.

It seems line it would be. It has a very thick clear coating and is RoHS compliant.

This product would not be to code in the US for in-wall use. It must be marked CL-2 or CL-3. It has to do with the smoke the insulation on the wire emits in a fire.

I would not use this type of cable outside for a long run especially if exposed to elements. It's not rated for that.

As long as the wall socket is a foot or two away from the unit it should be fine, if the wall socket is right above the unit, It just increases the risk of a fire.. It's just a safety Precaution. Just mount it afoot to the left or right of your wall socket it should be okay and try to keep the wire away from the unit also

No sane person would ever answer that question. Attics are notoriously dry and flammable. I don't recommend doing anything without an electrician.

I ran mine on the outside of the house to some direct wire cameras. I used small clips to fasten it to the siding on the house. They are still working fine after being out therefor over two years. So they should be fine through the attic.

I would use a high grade for 100-150 feet, electrical requires thicker wire the longer the run if you will

I would just to be on the safe side, especially if you decide to mount the antenna on your roof to prevent any electrical discharge from entering your home. But with it mounted in your attic, you don't need to run a ground.

Probably. You'll need good wire and a strong power supply. 100 foot "cheap-o" cables work in attics and so forth. A bit better wire with a separate power supply should be fine. Search Amazon for cctv cable and connectors if you like. You could always test with a cheap cable from Amazon to work things out...

Yes and no. If you put it in conduit, then it's protected enough you should be fine. It is not an outdoor rated cable, however.

Hi Martha,If you can avoid running this cable across a rooftop then I would greatly do so. I would opt to run the cable underground if that's a possibility.The exposure to all elements on a rooftop is extreme, and even though VIVO does make a cable that is "outdoor" rated, I would still run the cable through a conduit. Ethernet cable is much more sensitive then Coax cable, so please don't look at both as equal in durability.

Depends on the length of run. Twelve gage multi strand wire is good for up to 100 feet.

You would be fine to use 12 and 10 gauge wire, the 10 gauge would help you on the longer runs

Yes it is. This is actually a bit bigger than the 0awg standard. Dont skimp out with cheep wires, stick with good brands such as knu. Many cheep brands claim to be 0awg but they are really 4 gauge or sometimes even higher with lots of insulation on the wire. Hope this helped

I'm assuming the wires are running horizontally, if they are this will not fit. If the wires are running vertically up the wall, and they are electric, you will most likely be able to fit the safe into the wall cavity but since you will need to bolt this safe into the wall studs - the same studs the electrical wires will be running up - you should not install it as you could potentially fray the wire installing the bolts and cause a fire hazard

Communication wire has few restrictions for in-wall use. This wire is rated for use in walls, and has a nylon braided jacket on it. They seem very sturdy. Remember to run parallel to any line voltage (120 Volts), at a distance of 1 foot, and cross over line voltage wires at a perpendicular angle, when necessary. This will cut down on the amount of interference picked up from the line voltage.

Absolutely. I have mine permanently mounted in the attic with my antenna. It's been running strong for months.

Yes, this cable can be used outdoors. As long as your cameras are weatherproof then you can run this outdoors I have some of this wire and I put it under the siding on my home so it's not really exposed to much weather but it can still be used outside. I don't think it should be exposed directly to sunlight though. I do recommend to run it in conduit if it's going to be directly exposed outside to protect from criminals with wire cutters and the weather in general since it's pretty thin. I just ran mine under the siding under my home so if you have siding that's a good place to hide and protect the wire. Yes, this cable can be used outdoors.
