WiFi to my workshop from my router is patchy at best so I want to run some cat 5/6 cable for a permanent connection.
The cable will be surface clipped for 90% of the run except for one metre which must be underground (under a gate)
A gap exists between decorative slabs under the gate just a bit wider than the diameter of the cable. If I remove the mortar between the slabs I can lay the cable and then re-fill the gap with cement.
I don't want to widen the gap enough to be able to fit conduit or similar to contain the cable as this will spoil the look of the area so will the cable be OK just buried like this over this short distance or is their anything I can do to protect it when underground? I was thinking of self amalgamating tape.
Opinions and suggestions please?
