daubs8 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Now I am getting some informed answers to other topics I have another! Cabling a dome camera on a canopy using Cat5. The run is all internal until it exits the building. It is then contained on the canopy ceiling in 20mm solid plastic tubing straight into the pendant mount. Anybody see any need to use duct grade Cat5?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichL Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 If as you say its in conduit from exiting the building to entering the equipment then no need for duct grade. Duct grade is basically damp proof. Originally said by Charles Babbage On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miaren Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Nope, provided the conduit doesn't sag, and the cable is kept as dry as possible...ie its not going to be permanently sat in water. (wont hurt to put drip holes at the lowest points) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.wilson Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 agree with above just make sure the conduit has a drain hole at its lowest point. securitywarehouse Security Supplies from Security Warehouse Trade Members please contact us for your TSI vetted trade discount.

daubs8 Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Thanks for the answers. There shouldn't be any low points if the canopy is level! Plus there will be plenty of saddles. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
