Hi All,
I need to get some coax (RG6) and Cat5E down to my basement from my attic and wanted to know if running the cable down the sump pump vent pipe was OK. The run is about 23 feet down and the vent is used only for the basement sump pump.
I planned on putting a Y connector (45 degree) in the attic and basement to support the entry and exit of the wire instead of drilling holes directly in the pipe. The vent pipe is a 2" PVC pipe.
Is this "safe"? Any recommendations on how best to seal/cap off the cable entry into the Y connector? Any specific type of cable I should buy?
Thanks!
Tony
