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.
Thanks for all your replies. It's cheapo coax from my store - it's for me after all! The cost of failure is insignificant, I'll just replace it. Catenary it is then. Whilst asking dumb questions, is there a visually more appealing way of tying a cable to a catenary other than cable ties?
Lacing cord ?
As has been suggested, self-amalgamating tape, as suggested, probably better than tiewraps, as it won't deform the coax. Some wire-wrapping at occasional intervals will help protect against "premature collapse" if anyone is worried about that - for example someone reading this thread in the future, and planning for a catenary in a very large building or public infrastructure installation for some reason
