Could this be used outside? We need to attach it to the stucco wall of our lanai to hide cables running up into attic.

The product screws into the wall, so as long as you have a drill bit to do the pilot hole, yes, you could use this outside, keeping in mind that the product is not designed to be, nor does it claim to be, watertight.

It is made of heavy duty plastic, so the unit itself would be fine for outdoor use, providing you have a wall or surface that you can mount it on.

It is not designed for that, and is not moisture resistant, so I would not do so. Units designed for outdoor use are designated as such by UL.

Yes, but not outdoors in the elements, the cable is not rated for outdoor and underground... and if it will be bent drastically while that cold it may still not be suitable.

I would not use this type of cable outside for a long run especially if exposed to elements. It's not rated for that.

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

Outside receptacle should be in a weather tight box unless it is designed for outdoor use.

I believe so. That was my intention when I hung it through a hole in the ceiling and wanted to put the wires running through the attic. My electrician didn't want to do that so I ended up having to do it myself just through the walls. Also, if you're using a cable box, the box has to be within sight so those wires from the screen to the box wouldn't be hidden anyway.

I would not put it outdoors or anywhere that is near high traffic. The material sheds fiber glass. It is designed for welding protection and not for outdoor use.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

It can be, but it needs to be sheltered because of the plug/power supply. Ours is mounted to the exterior wall of the house, but well under the roof overhang.

I think you could mount it on a wall. Our electrician put them up right to run the cables through the attic.

This unit must not be exposed to the weather. The only part that can go outside is the weather proof outlet box that you would plug the cord into.

Not sure I would mount it outside unless it was enclosed. It would be very easy to disconnect and drain it for winter storage.

I would not use it anywhere, least of all, outdoors. I found the device to be completely unreliable--to the point of being useless--and returned it. It certainly did not seem like it was designed or constructed for outdoor use. Perhaps if it were under an overhang and not directly exposed to the elements it would "work"

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

Yes, it can be placed outdoors. The critical controls are protected by a clear plastic cover. Make sure your power source is fully grounded if you live in a wet environment.
