bassett72 0 Posted May 20, 2017 I'm going in the hot attic in our garage and in the soffit for each camera. Does it matter what kind....i.e., Riser, Plenum, STP, UTP, etc.??? Home Depot has both 500' of Plenum and Riser http://www.homedepot.com/b/Electrical-Wire-Voice-Data-Cable/500/N-5yc1vZc5a2Z1z10lzm Would one of these work, or do I need something better? Just want to make sure I have both a good solid connection AND am not going to start any fires, etc..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted May 20, 2017 Doesn't matter , it is more important to ensure the conductors are pure copper & not copper clad steel or aluminium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassett72 0 Posted May 21, 2017 So I could use the Riser cable in theory as long as I don't go in an air duct? It will take the heat in my attic ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the toss 0 Posted May 22, 2017 How hot does is get in your attic. Here in Australia it regularly gets over 110*F outside in open air. I've been in ceiling spaces in summer where the temp is reaching 140*F. Not much different to a sauna. If you have any doubts then simply check the specs of your cable.
