I had an electrician run Cat 6 to all the bedrooms in my older house, and he ran the cable all along the outside of the house (not buried). It’s a blue Southwire cable that I believe is rated for indoor use, and I’m worried it may be an issue come winter here in northern-Illinois. Should I be worried about an impending doom and if so what can I do to protect the cables.
It’ll be fine for 10 years or whatever. Put it in a conduit/or cover it with a riser if you’re worried. It’s the UV/SUN damage that will be the long term cause of concern.
Thanks!
