I understand.
You mention about "high power" lines - there is a regular outdoor 110v wire running close to, but not next to (maybe 3" away), this cable run for maybe 15 or 20 ft. However, this has been true since initial installation about 3 years ago, and this problem is now maybe 2 months old. What is your opinion about this being a possible problem?

You have given the best answers so far, so I want to ask a different question. If you want, please move this to it's own question, just please subscribe me so I get notifications.
In the past, on the 12v power supplies, I had one of the other coax cables (not this run) burn in half about halfway to the camera. This was in an attic area, so that's scary to me. There was no other damage I could see, system or woodwork. Is this even remotely common? Everyone assures me that this was so rare that I'm not sure they believed that it really burned in half. Should I be using a fire rated coax? Is there such a thing? Some other precaution?
Thanks!
