Please be more specific in your answer. A 1/4 inch Andrews/Comscope hardline offers a similar loss factor, higher power capabilities and a 100% instulation factor for pennies more. Not to mention the 1/2 and 3/4 inch varieties almost no loss at 50 MHz at 100M. A one time investment. | |

That way you don't have to trust the glue/tape, and if one cable gets wet and is damaged the others won't be affected. | |
