Not really - there would be no sensible/satisfactory way of terminating SWA into that or of joining the armour. Your best bet is probably a suitable IP-rated box with two SWA glands and a connector block.
Indeed so (provided one finds the colour aesthetically acceptable
) - I guess that counts as a "suitable IP-rated box with two SWA glands and a connector block."
Or an MK Masterseal socket.
Clipping cables to fences is generally regarded as not compliant with the regulations.
True - if a socket at the site of the join would/might be useful, then that would certainly be one way of doing it.
I think it's essentially a judgement call. To the best of my knowledge, the regs say nothing explicitly about clipping to fences. They say a lot about taking steps to minimise the risk of mechanical damage or stresses on the terminations, but leave the designer/installer to interpret that. In all but the most potentially traumatic of environments, to have SWA clipped to a wall would generally be regarded as acceptable - so it's really for you to decide how stable the fence/posts are and what would be the consequences of 'collapse'. From what you say, it sounds as if you are probably fairly confident that neither cable nor its terminations would be at appreciable risk if the fence collapsed.
Well, as John said, it's your decision.
