Coax Cable : Buried ? On-the-Ground ? In-the-Air ?
- - - For Safety and Durability
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortw...a/message/9091

The main reason for Burying the Coax Cable is that it will
Last Longer in-the-ground 3-10 Years vice having people
step directly on it or things rolling over it for the same
number of years. The simple fact is that Coax Cable "ON"
the Surface of the Ground is subject to more wear-and-tear
then Coax Cable "Buried" Under-the-Ground.

Use a Mattock or Pick with a 3" Trench / Drain Shovel

A shallow Trench that is about 3"-4" Wide and about 4"-6" Deep
will do 10'-20' a Day for a Week will get any job done in time.

If the Coax Cable can not be Buried then consider buying
a cheap Garden Hose and placing the Coax Cable inside
the Hose to protect the Coax Cable from Wear-and-Tear.
If necessary in High Traffic Areas build or buy a few
"Step-Overs" (Roll-Overs) to cover the Coax Cable from
Foot and Ground. You can use Electrical Cord Runners
as Step-Overs for Coax Cable in Out-Door locations.

ALTERNATIVES :
* Run-Route the Coax Cable 'out-of-the-way' along a Fence
or Wall about one foot off the ground.
* Up in the Air at least Ten Feet (10') above the ground.
