can the wire (outdoor cable) pass through a window?

Yes it can be passed through a window. I actually cut the wire and added a few more feet so I could put it in my truck. I ran the wire through the firewall, under the hood and I placed the sensor in the front bottom of my grill. So- going back to your question , its fairly easy to do what you want. If you cut your sensor wire, you can add some small speaker wire to mend it -- just don't damage the sensor or control box. Hope it helps.

Sure, if you make a hole for it, but I already had a hole through my wall from the previous Radio Shack thermometer that had died, and I used that. The old Radio Shack one lasted 10 years and I had no complaints, but this one seems better.... so far.

This is a great thermometer. The cord certainly cannot pass through the glass, but the cord is quite small & flexible and if the window does not fit too tightly, the window may be able to close with the cord in the crack. Try closing the window on a small cord, such as a thin shoe string.

It is thin wire, but I'd expect it could break eventually from the window closure.

If you want to give it a professional look, then yes, but the wire is super thin so you can easily pass it under a door. I drilled a hole in my downstairs wall leading outside, ran the wire up the wall to the second floor, where i drilled another hole bringing it back into the house. Then I sealed the holes with some silicone to protect from small bugs and moisture. The thin wire is basically against the outside wall but is virtually unnoticeable.

I agree with Cypress station. Between the door and frame(roof), yes. Then the window is not an issue. I would not try to run the strap between the window and door.

Yes, it dangles out the window. I drilled a small hole to extend it outside. I taped the wire with strong double sided sticky tape to the aluminum siding alongside the window to keep it more secured. This way the end is fully exposed but doesn't move much at all.

I am laying this cable today outdoors, however, i have it protected by conduit. I have been told that it will be OK. Trust this helps

I would assume any un-shielded wire would work though I have not tried extending it.

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.

No, I'm afraid it's not. The wires and workings are pretty well shielded (I accidentally spiled a cup of water on mine and none of it got in there) but not well enough for exterior use.

It can only be mounted on the exterior, and it needs a hole to run the wires. I would not think it would be suitable for use on a window.

Not sure what the question really means, if you could further explain, but I'll give it a shot. If what you mean is if the cable is usable outdoors, mine runs through the wall and out side, and the side of the house to get to the antenna. So yes it works for external use. Hope this is helpful!

yes, it works through walls and windows. It seems to be a radio signal and works to about 30 feet at my house.I have it plugged into a protected outside outlet and use it from inside the house to operate a fountain pump.

Yes, you will have to align the shelf that the cable box is on so you can see it thru the glass window.

It's not listed as an outdoor cable on the box or the casing, and I wouldn't expose it directly to the elements. I have installed it under a covered eve without any issue, but not exposed to direct sunlight.

My guess is that the wire covering will crack over time from UV exposure if left bare. Running it through conduit is a possible solution.

I believe so. That was my intention when I hung it through a hole in the ceiling and wanted to put the wires running through the attic. My electrician didn't want to do that so I ended up having to do it myself just through the walls. Also, if you're using a cable box, the box has to be within sight so those wires from the screen to the box wouldn't be hidden anyway.

The cable should go all the way through ti down spoute.Should check with use of cable on metal roof.

If signal is received at window then this unit will work. But cannot creat a signal if it is not their!!!
