thinking about doing a shallow bury of the cable along the edge of the
house...it would run free under the deck...then back under ground...then
into crawl space....then tacked to the floor...then into hole...should
keep cable from getting hot...and this cable is on the SUPER hot side
for house...100+ degrees out there now. Direct sun in the afternoon in
summer.

The gel is not much of an issue running the cable, but you have to
clean it off the ends to terminate the cables, and it's like

The problem with gel is that it expands as the temperature rises and
oozes out of the connector ! The trick is to use sockets and a ty-wrap
around the cable about an inch back from the socket. Though even that
won't stop the gel completely. It seems to come out but never gets
sucked back in.
