Is this cable safe enough to be ran behind drywall?

It's totally coated, so I guess it would be fine. Would ask an electrician though.

I have mine run behind drywall now. So I would say yes. I will caution the cables are not the highest quality. After about a year 2 of 3 cables went bad and white spots started to appear during playback.

There are a few holes on the back used for bolting it to the wall, you may be able to use those holes to route your security cable.

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.

No. I would not recommend burying this cable. In my opinion the outer covering is only meant to be used above ground

As long as you seal them up I think you'd be okay. After you make the connections outdoors, You could wrap them with plastic. Use a cable that can withstand the conditions you're going to face.

I would be cautious of the length of the run and the environment. I had issues getting picture, but it was because I had to run right next to ac voltage. When I ran test leads that were separated it worked very well. I had no choice but to run next to the ac so I had to use a much more expensive single cat6 balun instead. If you don't have issues with electric you should be fine.

It is not going to go very far underground. However Larry stated "not through drywall" and I must say maybe he should try a new battery? Mine will pick up a tone up to about a foot away from regular Romex cables (not powered of course) through drywall or suspended ceilings and plywood floors. Works awesome actually, I had to pop very few ceiling tiles!!! I run run the tip close to the ceiling or wall and listen for the tone! SWEET!

Yes, but not outdoors in the elements, the cable is not rated for outdoor and underground... and if it will be bent drastically while that cold it may still not be suitable.

It depends on your carpet, I would say. If you have carpet and padding and can fish it through, I would say you'd be fine. You'll probably detect it's presence but I don't think it'd be too invasive. If possible run it against the wall with cable guides.

well, yes you could but it would not meet code requirements. You will be better off running regular three wire electrical cable through pvc conduit rated for underground applications. This greatly reduces the chance of the line being damaged.

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.

Geez, the distance wouldn't be a problem so I guess it would depend on what you'd want to use for anchors and hardware. I'm not overly familiar with metal studs. If you're confident you have a good solid hardware that would fit the bill I'd say it'd be no problem. Is it in an exposed application or covered in drywall?

Only in PVC pipe an weather tight boxes . not the cable by itself. Probably would hold up but not rated.

Scott, I do not believe that this wiring is rated for any such conditions as running it in areas where it is constantly exposed to adverse conditions. (Although I don't know this for a fact.) I do know that I personally went through quite a few sets of these leads due to damage of different sorts until I got wise enough to protect them in wire conduit, flex, or other wire raceways. My suggestion would be to use a different type of cables like a RG-59 coax combined with a bigger gauge power lead for any critical areas that might be exposed to bad conditions. (This is assuming that you have a little more room for wall penetrations, etc. because this other cable is quite a bit larger in diameter.) But they are rated for all adverse conditions without extra layers of protection needed, however these cables are not available from Amazon and are readily available from other sources. These bigger cables are what the professional security companies use whenever they are not installing a completely wireless system. Remember that these "videoSecu" or cables work just fine in ideal conditions BUT as I have stated in my review--------These cables are at most a bare-bones minimum gauge and insulation to get the job done. And I am a electrical contractor that knows wire and it's properties. I hope that this is of some help to you. NOTE: The other cables are more expensive but worth every penny if you are installing in exposed conditions or areas where possible damage due to temperature, U.V. rays, constant high humidity or wetness conditions exist.

Exterior cable would of course be ideal due to the durability of the cable covering but this will work fine. The only problem would be possible future failure due to breakdown of the covering but this would certainly take some time to occur. The covering is a PVC type so it should last for a significant time period and the cost is very reasonable.

Ran my wires from the bedroom outside thru the ceiling and down. A is inside, B are for outside. Been there for over 15 years and no problem. Mounted on outside wall under eaves.

I think so. The AirPort slides in from one side and is held in place by it's grooves. You have at least two ethernet and one power cord coming out of the end. You could run the cable in a wire channel (see your local home improvement store) to pretty it up. For drywall ceilings I'd use the anchors that screw into the drywall if you can't hit a stud or better yet toggle-bolts. I would also put in a set screw to keep it from sliding back out just in case.
