Where are they chewing it? They seem to like platforms. Maybe put the cable through some flexible conduit or LDPE tubing where the chewing occurs. If cost is the issue, maybe look around for a good price on irrigation tubing, not sure how big that comes. A determined squirrel could chew through it, but as your photos show, they tend to chew a bit one place then try somewhere else. I even used smurf tube once and while clearly that’s not the best choice it seemed to work.

TBH, I'd rather just sit there and shoot them all than run conduit up the grain leg. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Sean Heskett" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, May 10, 2015 3:37:49 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Voltage\Amperage on Shielded Cable I'd run the cable thru liquidtight conduit.

Since these squirrels like chewing cables, I'd like to give them a shocking experience! Hook a cheap fence charger to the ground wire of the SS chassis? ;-) Note: I don't actually intend on doing that... not because of the squirrels, but because I don't wanna jack up the radios. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest Internet Exchange http://www.midwest-ix.com
