It is very strange awsum140, about some designs. For example, my Pulse AIO are virtually all plastic. The only metal are the connections, mesh head and chimney and that's about it. Sure I run those VVC-15 mesh heads at 17 watts / 330°F and they are rated at 35-60w, but still you would think they should create some heat beyond the mesh. Oddly enough, I can chain vape them all day and nothing gets warm.

The gardener's got a hold of one of the camera cables with their string trimmer. I don't know how well it was buried when it was replaced 2 years ago for a similar reason. Here is my trial run a splicing cat5. This cable is indoor in my pic. The one that I'm going to fix is outdoor gel filled cable. This gel is like thinned down petroleum jelly, it will not run.
I'm doing a Western Union splice with solder. I'm cleaning the wires with 91% alc.
I wish that I had brought my no clean liquid flux .

My wire splice job went quite smooth, no problem with soldering. Camera though still is not working, it is not talking with the POE switch. I have checked each of the 8 wires twice now to make sure each splice has the correct colors.

How long of a run is this cable? I'm surprised this cable doesn't have shielding.

Here wires have to be 2 feet deep. If vehicles drive over it, then it has to be 4 feet deep.

I have the tester and tried moving it to another port.
I believe I have found the problem, it has damage about another 12 feet from my splice. I'm going to do a simple splice first before I go to the trouble of making a soldered splice to make sure it's going to work. There's no doubt that the cable should be replaced.
