Can this cable be run outside the house under the siding, will it withhold the elements?

I would not recommend it, you will have to get one that is rated weather resistant, this cable after I installed it didn't work to begin with so I would look into a different one.

an outdoor extension cord would move the charger, as long as it is protected from the elements it would work ok

I personally have no tused it on siding, but I don't believe it should be a problem. Try it on a small area out plain sight for a test.

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.

Hi, I was able to run it underground to my shed which has sheetrock and is insulated. I then was able to cut some of the sheetrock out and run it behind the sheetrock and turn it at the corners in order to get it to the other side of the shed.If you are running it on the outside of the wall it will not go right against the wall corner as it I don't believe you should bend or crease it. You might be an inch or two away from the 90 degree corner on the outside of the wall but inside it works fine. I hope that helps you.

The electrons don't mind gettin' a little wet, but if there's much flow in that creek, and especially if there's much debris coming down the creek in winter (that could catch on the wire, build up, and eventually break it), I'd probably run the wire through PVC conduit at the creek crossing. This wire is pretty tuff stuff, though -- I definitely second the guy who said it's way better for underground fences than the 20 AWG supplied by Petsafe, et al. Not as easy to twist and keep in place, though!

Hello John, Our cables would work fine tucked under aluminum siding due to the triple shielding it has. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

I have several hundred feet installed. I do NOT think it would be possible to rake any snow near the gutter portion of the roof; such as within about 2 feet from the gutters up in my case. It would catch the cable and pull it loose. (And it would be a pain to put it back at that time, cuz the shingles are cold/brittle.) I say no.

I would search for an outdoor rated wire. I wouldnt consider this to be an outdoor cable unless you are running it in a conduit. For your POE question that is better answered by your power source then factor in the frequency of the cable. Here is a calculator to help. http://beyond-wifi.com/poe/poe-calc.html

No. The intent of this device is to divert a surge of electricity to a legitimate ground (e.g., your water main or a lightening rod) rather than having it enter your house, should your antenna be hit by lightening. I have mine connected between sections of the coax cable that runs between the antenna and the house, and the the other connector has a length of #10 copper wire (per code) running from the device to a lightening rod. It definitely needs to be installed outside; you certainly would not want all that voltage making its way into your house!

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.

Without a UL and/or CSA approval for "Direct Rain" I would not use it outdoors. Moisture in electronics or cables will distort signals.

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!

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.

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

Yes. If you drill through the sacsh for the cable. We have our antenae mounted on a wall outside our home. It is under a covered porch and we ran the cables in by drilling through the sash of a window. It works fine.
