[QUOTE="Ardet R, post: 467560, member: 30040"] Knightsbridge: the mark of quality (is missing)! I would suggest that the cable being buried in concrete will protect it effectively from mechanical damage as there is no ground to disturb (if you just label the concrete as "Caution, cable conduit do not move or damage" :) ) Using plastic ducting in the concrete should be fine as long as it is cable duct as it is then designed to provide protection against mechanical damage. I would agree that where thee is a solid layer of material over the cable then it is only necessary to provide limited protection thereafter, but probably a good diagram of where the cables run might be useful at a later date. If you were to install a cable and cover it with concrete cable covers this would be the same effect. H07RNF is meant to be the cable of choice for outside use after SWA and NYY-J. [/QUOTE]
