Hello Guys,
I've got 50m of 6mm SY multiflex cable, left over from a job. I've recently built an outbuilding for tool storage and office use and was thinking I would use this, instead of forking money out for armoured. The cable run is approx 30m and I planned on clipping the first 5m to the outside of the house (out of direct sunlight), and running the rest under a deck and then in some scalfolding pipe underground through the lawn area. Is it suitable to run this cable underground (as I have nver done so before) and also it has a tinned steel wire braid, so would this count as mechanical protection so that I could run it of a non protected RCD circuit, and then into the RCD protected outbuilding CU (save walking back to the house if the RCD trips).
Cheers
Tom
