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

I think it just means there is power to the unit and thus the cable below 38 degrees? I haven't had it plugged in when the temperature has been over 50 degrees which I believe it shuts the power of above that temp.

Mine gets as warm as any other AC adapter I have used. Nothing out of the ordinary. Make sure it is not covered by a blanket, being used as a foot warmer, etc.

So far I have only had it plugged into the AC to 12v adapter in the house and it maintains a temperature that fluctuates between about -3 and -8 deg F easily. I would expect it would do as well plugged into a lighter receptacle in 80 degree temperatures. It might not get all the way to the -8 max cold in 90 degree temps in the direct sun but it would probably be able to maintain 0 at least. I will eventually be using mine in a motor home full time and I'm sure it will keep my pizzas frozen rock solid. :0)

I use my on the grill and smoker. Cable is exposed to heat, but I've had none, ZERO, problems. I love my unit!!

It all depends on how warm you want it. If you just need to chase away the chill, it'll do fine. If you want it 80/90 degrees, it might not. I only use them to prevent freezing in garden tunnels, they just barely do it but that's all I need.

There is a range of temperature you can set by turning the knob at the wired end from around 65 to 85F

This cable is rather stiff because of the shielding and twisted pair wires, looks like cable wire. You would get more of arch rather than a 90 degree bend.

I use a regular 13amp low temp for flexibility 100' extension cord although a 15amp rated cord would be a better choice.

My power cords did get very warm, but not hot. As a safeguard, I connected the heater to a heavy duty extension power cord with a 15amp safety cutoff. Also, I made sure the power circuit was also equiped with a 15 amp breaker and heavy enough wire. The amount of power they draw will make the connections warm that is for sure. Hope that helps.

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

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.

Dear Michael,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger High Speed HDMI cable.The cable is flexible, but can't be bent 90 degrees. Please contact us at service@bluerigger.com if you have any additional questions.Thanks,BlueRigger LLCservice@bluerigger.com

It's thicker and somewhat more rigid, sharp 90 degree bends will not be possible. Ok if you can incorporate larger bends into cable runs should be fine. This cable is pretty tough stuff.

There are two temperatures settings. The person who said it was too hot may have been using High rather than low. I would be careful about where you place the cord to avoid tripping but yes, it should work.

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.

This cable is pretty sturdy. Good for maintaining the viability of the cable itself. I'm sure you could run it through whatever track you needed to, but bending it at 90 degrees isn't really a good idea either. It's much sturdier than a charging cable or a phone cable or something.
