I want to run some exterior rated data cable on the outside of my house. I don't want to install conduit, I just want to secure it to clapboard sliding.

What type of cat5e cable type fastener would you suggest?

I moved your post out of the other thread.
I wonder why it wouldn't let you post a new thread?

Clapboard is pretty darn hard & brittle at the same time. I have sanded teeth on a saw down cutting it. Be careful because a lot of the older stuff is asbestos. Don't want to breath that stuff. If you can drill holes I would go with the zip tie anchors that have a screw down eye built in them.

I would use a product such as this:

Gardner Bender 300-Pieces Plastic Coaxial Staples for Wood

Yep, they would work good.

???? You mean they would be fine if you use screws, right?

You just said clapboard is hard and brittle. Nail it????

What did you use? How did it work out? Inquiring members want to know!
