Anti-vandal outdoor cable protectors

[Deleted member 18243]

Does anyone know where I can buy an anti-vandal steel cable protector for covering a cable on an external brick wall?

You see them on public buildings sometimes, covering the first ten feet or so of cable from the ground up. I've done a Google search but can't find anything.

Thanks.

That is one manufacturer and supplier of them, not sure if you can purchase direct. Electrical wholesalers should be able to supply also.

jsut be carefull how you fix it, dont use screws (they can be undone)

Sorry - I thought it would have been obvious that my suggestion was not meant as a sensible one...

I realise that this thread is ancient but the need for anti-theft protection for cables and pipes is very current. This company http://jmlhardware.co.uk/security-products/galvanised_pipe_protectors-html/ supplies exactly what is needed for many applications.

I am a director of a management company looking after a block of flats in south west London and copper gas pipe theft is a constant worry. We are about to install this Pipepro system - much cheaper than swapping the pipe from copper to iron.

I was on holiday last year in the Italian lakes, and loads of houses there have copper guttering and downpipes.

Can't understand why they don't get nicked.

I have an idea they use copper-plated. It is very light and not very soft.

Ah - that would make a lot more sense
