How warm does the cable get? for my purposes I would need around 80-90 degrees

NO!! It will only get between 45-50 degrees. Just hot enought for it to melt ice. Sorry!

The temperature of the cable is not controlled. It is a simple resistance heater, designed to work well at cooler temperatures. You need to turn it off when the weather gets warm to prevent it from over heating and being damaged. There are temperature controlled switches designed for these heater cables that turn them off above about 35or 40 degrees F. That is also why they should not touch each other, the cable may overheat at the point of contact.

Warm to the touch. Not hot enough to burn you. Did not measure temp so can't be more precise.

I don't know... I returned them because they would not work with my leaf guard system. Sorry

Yes , I think that would work just fine. My winch has never generated much heat at all. In fact my cable has some kinks and is starting to fray. I will replace with synthetic when the time comes.

If you are using the high gain antenna outdoors by running the USB cable back inside to a computer, I would assume it will handle reasonable temperatures down to say 0F IF you provide a weather proof enclosure. If you are running the antenna and computer outside, again assuming some kind of weather proof enclosure, I would expect it to operate at whatever temp your computer can stand. I suspect the major limitation is the temp effect on the battery of the computer. As with any electronic device, sudden large temp swings should be avoided. If you are just trying to get the maximum range from a remote WiFi signal I would suggest attaching the antenna to the inside of the glass of a window.

you should have no trouble running a cable 12 to 15 feet as long as the wire is heavy enough. carol

Ours are all up under our eaves, not out in weather. The cable should be fine, but I would suggest protecting the connector part.

95º heat doesn't seem to be a problem. Mine aren't in direct sunlight though.

410 degrees F....beware if this is not an authorized seller then sedu will not warranty the product. I found this out when the cord broke.

We use two 50 foot cords hooked together. never had a problem with overheating. The unit works well but if you are left handed, it is a little awkward at first until you get used to it

I am laying this cable today outdoors, however, i have it protected by conduit. I have been told that it will be OK. Trust this helps

With proper care I don't see why not. Just don't extent the cable over the heat.

yes it will turn to 90 degrees. I bought this for my motorcycle the reception is not the greatest misses a lot of the channels just thought I let you know

Seems to get pretty warm but I wouldn't consider it hot. Really like the way it works. I have it hooked to two batteries in my fishing boat and just hook it up after fishing and let it charge and maintain the battery.

About 45 degrees. Depending on how high you desk is, you should be able to.

I doubt if heat cable would get hot enough to melt them, check with both manufactures just to be safe.

The cable is designed to be exposed to the heat. I've used mine in both the expected environment and on the Barbie.The unit has worked flawlessly. Just how is the unit "failing"? If the meat you're cooking is bone-in you need to be carefulnot to allow the probe to touch the bone. (Bone conducts heat more efficiently than meat and will yield a false reading leading toinsufficiently cooked meat.

Generally with USB you should be able to have runs up to 100'. Unless you needed multiple cables I would go with one 50' or 75' cable.

My cable is buried 8 to 12 inches deep.No problems at all with temps as low as -7 degrees the ground definitely froze around it.
