Installaing an outside device. Have a spur on the inside of shed.

IN regards to the outside cabling which will be permanent and exposed to all weather Which sort of cable do I need? Wont be going underground but will go on some cable tray and can termainate onto a transformer in an IP rated weather proof box to power an outside Wireless Access Point.

 

armoured cable is the best.

 

Does it have to confirm to any Standards Rick?

 

Ye stick with the armoured you will need to find out what the demand is going to be though and what size cable you need

 

Use armoured. Make sure you get a CW gland when you make it off. A BW gland is not waterproof. You must use the earth ring to earth the steel armouring and it must be r.c.d protected at the source of where it is coming from. Any questions on this just ask mate

 

I've got armoured running the length of my garden for my shed and pond too.

 

Armoured is the easiest and best stuff for this sort of job. Providing it is not getting stood on or driven over it will last for years, even in the elements. Does'nt need to buried either as long as it's out of the way of potential damage.

 

as dry said it must be protected by an RCD too
