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.

  • Or run it without a catenary, and be ready to change it after 5 years. Coax is not that dear.  Grey is less visible against the sky than black. Allow a reasonable droop, so the tension does not exceed the spec. CT100 and WF100 are copper core, RG6 is steel coated with copper, and is better in tension, but has higher RF loss.
