absolutely not. A drip loop is used to prevent water runing down the outside of the cable from running upward into your wall penetration. Because water is outside of cable, it can drain down when it reaches the bottom edge of drip loop. When water is inside cable, it does not have the same option. The more water that builds up at the drip loop location, the heavier the weight that builds up until it pushes the water around the drip loop into the entry. As well, water outside the cable does not rust or short out inside conductive wires.
