Liability kills it then as a personal thing and thanks all for those details. The local pub has patio heaters and mains sockets for laptops or whatever so I guess their insurance permits those. They might be willing to host this charger permanently fitted with only the DC exposed - what...

"all reasonable steps that a provider of such a service would be expected to take" Leaving aside liability for a moment this is what I'm asking. The charger satisfies SELV characteristics and only the DC side would be outdoors, but it doesn't carry the symbol above or 'SELV' (although it is...

Hi all, I'm thinking of wall mounting a plug-in ebike charger indoors and feeding the 60V DC cable through to the outside next to the driveway. The tethered cable would be kept dry in a wall-box and I'd lock the bike to a wall loop while charging as it's next to the street. Then I thought...

Think I'll have to improvise some trunking out of self coloured mahogany UPVC sill profile or similar ;-)

No-one has contradicted you B-A-S... no... so thanks for the wisdom. I suppose I should route on the inside if possible until up out of harms way.

Not sure if this is the one but it seems to require 70mm... www.protelturkey.com/urunler/belden/pdf/H125_CU_PE.pdf

Trays, copex, slots in brickwork... keep the tips coming :) Have at last found a cable routing how-to: http://www.dbsinstall.com/whatis/Whatisgood-4.asp but they radius a cable (note the shadow) into a wall unprotected: http://www.dbsinstall.com/N-images/Whatis/driploop-2.jpg...

It does depend what the Cat5e cable is used for but bends matter for gigabit. The usual reason given is that tight bends straigten out the twist in the pairs and reduce noise rejection, but at those speeds the cable is also very much a transmission line. If your Cat5e isn't quite up to gigabit...

That's agreed then... but I'm glad they posted their pics as I've yet to find any better examples. Should cables enter walls at 45 degrees instead of 90? Can you get minimum radius cable guide brackets? I figure you could cross a sharp corner between walls by curving a cable to run along...

Hi All I'd like some practical tips for routing cables in ways that preserve bend radius when installing data (Cat5e) and aerial cables. I've a feeling this isn't the way to do it! - http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=153&page=3 Thanks in advance.
