randynavarro Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I don't see any markings indicating these service cables are rated for exposure to the sun (which they are in this installation). As the plastic / nylon jacket is deteriorating, it appears they're NOT rated for sunlight. Am I missing something?

hausdok Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi Randy, My Hansen's says that it's alright for that purpose, however that doesn't look like SEU, SER or URD type cable although it's hard to tell from the picture.

Bain Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Originally posted by inspecthistoric Here it is: www.ul.com/regulators/W&CMG_April2007_Final.pdf That's useful. Thanks. I had to learn that stuff for a class once, but it's presently all a tad fuzzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randynavarro Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 What happened when you licked the wires? I met Jesus himself finally after all these years. I had a nice discussion with him (he answered many questions I've alway pondered over) and the next thing I knew I was sitting in the rose bushes below where I'd set my ladder. . . .
