is this cable plentum 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.

I'm pretty sure it isn't. I know Lorex sells plenum rated cables, of course for a lot more money.

Yes, it does seem like a cheap connection. But probably adequate for most applications. If you need something tougher, there are a variety of things that you could do on your own. A Google search on "cable panel strain relief grommet" shows a number of options.

Should not be a problem, cable is durable enough. Local building electrical codes would be a factor if new construction install after electrical inspector signs off. otherwise go for it for neatness.

I wouldn't. There is no indication that this cable is rated for in-wall use, much less riser or plenum. Using cable that is not rated for in-wall use inside a wall in your residence risks having any fire insurance claims rejected. Even worse, this is copper clad aluminum, which is only about 68% as conductive as pure bare copper wire, so the cable will generate more heat than copper, which could create a fire, depending on how much power you are putting through it and the total cable length.

I've used this cable throughout my new house... I didn't realize it was underground rated... NP though and the price was still right... Had issues with some quad connectors not fitting, but that's on them, not the cable.

Should be fine, assuming you've measured the length you need. I haven't used this cable inside walls, but I would: it's rated for it, and it is nice and sturdy.

Nope. I think it is rubber, but it is flat not round like any other cable. Hope it helps.

I have not used the cable I purchased yet. I do plan to use it for the same purpose.

no its not. it is a very good PS however you get ever possibility for an install. excess wires is an issue if you dont have the space. i had trouble closing my case! 5 stars for quality.

It is supposed to be...I have it hanging in air between 2 buildings...I stretched a small, 3/16" stranded steel cable between 2 buildings, about 25 ft...then I loosely wrapped the CAT5 around the steel cable...that way the CAT5 is not supporting any weight if, for example, in winter we get a good ice storm and the cable gets covered witha good layer of ice...so far it's worked...

I'm not sure but for me It's a good light cable with my HP but how can you go wrong for $2.87.

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

If it were rated, it would say so. Direct Burial cable is normally armored.

I've only known them as "drop down ceilings" so I had to look "plenum" up... I couldn't find anything in the rating section, but I do know first hand that it works great in my church with a plenum ceiling. 40ft of it actually lays in the ceiling laying over electrical conduit and fluorescent light fixtures and this vga cable still works great with no signal loss.

Hello, No this cable is not "in wall" rated but I've seen reviews where customers have used them in the walls. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

I believe it to be rated at 40 amps due to the length of the cable. although I have seen it other places saying its rated for 50 amps go figure.

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.
