[QUOTE="martinxxxxxx, post: 217768, member: 6454"] Possibly correct, but not beyond reasonable doubt. I think it should rely on more than an assumption. You can get a marine version of T+E. I wonder why they bother making that when according to some the plain communal garden stuff will do the job just as well. :C I would not be happy to be on a boat with a 240vac system wire in normal t+e, would you? I am saying this to illustrate what the difference is between a cable that is very similar to T+E and is and to illuminate where the key problem lie with using it outside as I see it. I am not trying to win this argument or to belittle anyone. I do think it is better that this is resolved. I will ring the tech desks of the cable cos and seek written assurances that it is safe to use outside, if they do not oblige then I will take that as a MI as referred to in my previous post. We are all learning (apparently, especially as none of can state with evidence one way or the other whether our most used cable is weatherproof) Martin (Sent from my laptop, using "wifi") [SIZE=8px][COLOR=#C0C0C0]---------- Post Auto-Merged at 13:16 ---------- Previous post was made at 13:12 ----------[/COLOR][/SIZE] And continuous submersion [/QUOTE]
