can you have this type of wire outside in the air
Asked by doodle July 13, 2020This wire is meant to be used outdoors, but it is NOT meant to be strung long distances, as it has no supporting cable strand. Short hops, no more than a few feet should be OK.
Can it be used under patios for security lighting and outlets to support holiday lighting? would it require conduit?

Asked by DesertOaks April 20, 2019We have also had some experience with fighting chewing animals. We've never noticed that organic material made a bit of difference. It seems to be more a texture thing and possibly the electricity passing thru the line. Try running it thru harder PVC pipes to protect the line.
Does it have to be buried with conduit or is it ok to just bury the wire?
Asked by Eric December 16, 2018Does not have to be in a raceway except where it comes out of the ground where it is subject to physical damage
