Looking for ideas/solution to hiding wire in visible eve?

[tomas21]

What clean looking solutions has anyone come up with where wire is visible in eve's (see attached).. want to seal up and protect wire.

• Looking at making some customer wood enclosure/channel to hide and paint white to blend in
• Checking out HD cable management solutions (Wiremold, Legrand)

Junction boxes or a junction box/pull box and conduit would be good.

A piece of simple crown molding along that length should hide that.

Hope you used dielectric grease on that RJ45 connection and tape it before enclosing it. While not directly in the weather, it will get way too much moisture and over time will fail.

If you can't find a piece of cord cover at HD or Lowes that fits, consider a piece of 1" to 1-1/2" (whichever inside diameter suits) of schedule 125 PVC pipe (cold water, irrigation, etc.) and have it cut in half length-wise with a band or table saw, drill 2 to 3 holes to pass some deck screws through (missing cables) and run it up tight with your cordless driver; paint to match.

I use this product available at Home Depot, in 5ft lengths. Works well for running longer outside cabling along the edge where the soffit meets the wall.

Commercial Electric 5 ft. 1/4 Round Baseboard Cord Channel, White A60-5W - The Home Depot

Non-metallic channel is engineered to protect cords and cables while maintaining the elegant appearance of your home. Run cords and cables where you need them without having to see them. The 1/2 round

www.homedepot.com

My local HD sells it in single 5ft pieces @ $6.94/Piece. They also have a 3-pack with fittings for a little less than $15.

That's what I was looking for last night (my "cord cover at HD") , couldn't locate it then I got in a hurry and just offered an inferior alternative. Have seen and shared it before and I had it linked on my other PC which crashed hard.
Gonna save that link again, thanks!

Search using 'cable management' on the HD site. That's how I found it.

And just in case he needs a larger duct to fit what appears to be a fat pigtail, this site has some as large as 2-3/4: Corner Ducts Raceway

Good find. I'll book mark this one, too. Thanks.

I would put a single gang bell box behind the camera then run a 1/2" or 3/4" PVC pipe into the house where the ethernet cable is coming from. That way the camera connection to the cable is weather tight..
