Hello folks
Can anyone recommend a supplier and/or installer of armoured ethernet cable?
My client (www.lotusflowertrust.org) needs a network connection to their
outside office about 30m from the main house.
cheers

I have done DIY installations of outside cables in the past by laying
PVC water pipes in a trench and then threading the cable though those.
You can either bend the pipe or make joints for changes of direction
depending on how sharp they are. Not quite what you are after, but a
possible alternative

Hi,
I've never seen armoured cable per-se (would have thought it would have been
too difficult to stick the connectors on and plug it in.
I've used exterior grade cable and found it good. If I wanted to do that I'd
probably put it in conduit.
I would look at millsltd.com or wadsworth.co.uk
Hi again,
When we do that we lay two parallel pipes and thread a pull rope down one and
back down the other. The rope is then tied in a continuous loop for loss-free
pulling :)
We usually use 4" plastic pipe as it's not tight and should make pulling easy.
Cheers,
Paul.

Armoured cable may be well over the top for the application.

I wonder if we can take this discussion a bit further - possibly expanding it
so that it does not just cover the 'ultimate' system.
If there was a smart linux hardware+software package to fit neatly under the

My mistake - sorry about that. What is the position re Linux drivers? Are
they the same NVidia ones as the Acer Aspire?

Well, that generated some intere
Hi,
You can get by with one pipe but the day the cord comes off whilst you're
pulling or if you want to add cables when you're not taking any out it becomes
a pain.
No pullies required, just a loop of rope coming out each end and going into the
other pipe.
We usually put mains down one pipe

I would put the grep string in single quotes - anacron may be messing up
the trailing $
