I've just ordered some SWA cable to connect up my garage, it'll be running for around 4 metres along the wall, 8 feet or so high. Is it best to put this exposed cable in plastic conduit, or is it OK to pin direct to the wall?
Ta Alan.
SWA on wall - best in conduit?

At that height it shouldn't need any additional protection, just fix it with cleats

I presume you mean this is outside, not inside the garage. Unless vandalism is a particular problem, when I would use steel cable capping attached with masonry nails, I don't see any need for additional protection.

Clipped direct is fine unless you expect people to be fiddling with it deliberately.
