Thinking rats finding their way into the high level contamination medical waste bins...
You might have to scrounge your neighbors's recycling bins after dark if you need a lot.
With he new bins getting wood is much easier. You do know about Hardwood Products also don't you?
Are there any letters on the #2 wire insulation that look like TW, THHN, RHH, XHHW? If the wire is in free air, it will carry a lot more current. Depending on the insulation, the amp rating could be as high as 150 amps. TDD
But if it's situated some way off, then suitably marked TW&E will be fine. Or Triple & E as used on two way lighting.
I was told that both NTL and TW use RG6 internally, although the stuff NTL used here looks more like CT125. The suggestion to leave the CM where it is and run a long Ethernet lead instead is definitely the better idea though. Lee
