can this cable be buried in conduit?

Hi, cable is very good and can be put in a conduit. If I remember correctly it need more than 1'' and 3/4 diameter... Good luck.

Yes, but it must be dry. Not suitable for wet or damp situations. Check your local building code also to be sure your installation is compliant.

I'm not sure, Every City's Code's sometimes are different if you live inside a City, Or County of the State your in. If I wear in your shoes I would ask an Certified Electrician or County Engineer's Office, even A City Engineer's Office, It's really a loaded Question, It seems as though they change the code's every other day, If you know what I mean.

I'm not a licensed electrician, but that being said.... I have done a lot of "DIY" jobs. I don't believe this is rated for burial, at least there's no indication on the jacket that it is. However, if your going to be runing conduit underground (PVC or steal with water tight fittings) and running this inside (check code) but I'd say you should be fine. I'd aslo say cost wise you'd probbaly be better off with 4 individual wires that a jacketed cable....

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working

It can be used direct burial underground no where. However, you can pull it through an underground conduit (PVC 2" with no more than 2 90degree sweeps recommended) with a rope and dish soap lubrication. Talk to your inspector first

I put mine in conduit. My guess is you would get twice the life of regular cable. If it is long term conduit is not that expensive!

Cat5 and Cat6 are different cables. This cable could either be buried (no conduit required) or left on a surface. I would expect that sun exposure would damage the cable more.

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.

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 use this cable for quiet a few long runs around my business. A few from 300 ft to 350 ft and I have one pushing 390 ft. All of these runs are outside between buildings. However they are all underground in conduit. I get good speed but I don't use poe so I don't know that part. I think I'd use conduit outside

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

I ran the #8 from the exterior load center to the Talon box underground, inside Carlon PVC conduit. You can get direct burial wire but the conduit is just a safer choice. A 50 amp breaker will work for this purpose.

Yes. It is designed for direct burial in the ground but putting it in pvc conduit is the best way for it to last the longest. I always put it in conduit. Just make sure you do not pull to hard and stretch the cable. Bigger conduit is better. Wire lube in bends helps as well.

Yes, you can string it through a chain link fence and it will work fine. It's easier then burying it too.

Ours are all up under our eaves, not out in weather. The cable should be fine, but I would suggest protecting the connector part.

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!

No the cable is adquately sheilded . Unless the building code where you live requires the use of conduit . If you want to not see the cable you can use the hdmi recepticle plate and run the excess cable in the wall.

Caroline, I am sure you can bury the cables as long as both ends are isolated from moisture, ie; J-box, weather proof (type 3M), or ran back indoors. There is not really any regulations regarding depth, however I would put the cable deep enough (about 6 in.) so that it will not be damaged by roots or lawn equipment. FYI, sunlight might cause cable to become brittle. Whenever you are coming out of the ground, protect it with conduit or some sort of guard.

Bare? No. If left unspliced, in conduit, yes. Check your local electrical codes.
