I recently had the opportunity to visit a City of Los Angeles Remote<br>Automated Weather Station (RAWS). See<br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/queryF?s=mtw&d=now&span=24hours">http://cdec.water.ca.gov/cgi-progs/queryF?s=mtw&d=now&span=24hours</a></span><br><br>I noticed that the system was wired using a flexible metal cable (1/2"). It<br>had a continuous outer metallic covering that looked to be aluminum. I asked<br>my host about the cable and he said that he hadn't been involved in the<br>installation and didn't know much about conduit/cable/wire. The conditions<br>are certainly "damp" i.e. outdoors, but I don't know about "wet". The cable<br>runs were completely exposed to the weather.<br><br>The cable carried low voltage "data" and "power". I am pretty sure it didn't<br>carry 120/240Vac, but again my host didn't know.<br><br>Does any one know what this cable might be?<br><br>If you would like a
photo, I could send one off-line.<br><br>- Peter<br><br> <br>Peter T.
