Default Coax Burying ?

Hello:

Can anyone offer an opinion on how well a good quality name brand coax will
"typically" last if buried ?

Not the types called "buriable", just the regular stuff.

Will probably run in a pvc conduit, but was wondering about if I didn't.

Thanks,
Bob


Depends on the pH of the soil, moisture, etc. Here, everything is
directly buried and they don't really seem to use anything special.
PVC jacketed stuff will outlast your average hairless ape.
