Catenary wire and coax

I need to run coax about 15m to my garage. I was assuming that I would need a catenary wire support but then I saw my telephone cable! So, the question is, do I need the catenary wire? Many thanks.

  • Whilst asking dumb questions, is there a visually more appealing way of tying a cable to a catenary other than cable ties?



    The old school method was a few wraps of tape and then a couple of loops of copper wire with the ends twisted together - repeated every 8 or 10 inches. Actually that probably satisfies the fire support requirements of the current regs - unlike nylon ties or tape alone.
