Rg59siamese - exposed or conduit

Recommended Posts

looks like i may have to run a wire out to one of the cam i'm replacing. Do i really need to put it in conduit or can i wire it exposed. Its a high quality wire from belden 549945, no snow in california but lots of sun. Any input is appreciated.

 

thanks.

If it's not UV-rated, the jacket will break down over time when exposed to the sun, and become cracked and brittle. Probably best to protect it from direct exposure to the elements, whether with PVC, EMT, ENT, or even just split corrugated loom.
