Need to run a supply for a CCU outside on a wall(130 feet). Customer doesnt want Black SWA. Been looking but cant find a white 'outdoor' cable. Cant use T&E as conduit/trunk not tidy enough.
 
Hi salisbury spark


The only cable for outside use in white I can think of is MICC (pyro). Rarely used for submains these days though. CSA range from 1.0 - 240 mm². If all else fails paint the SWA we used to use a company called undetectables who paint cables ect to blend in with the building was expensive...


Regards
