RE: Cable Laying

Different methods = different costs,
different ampacity due to different cooling/heating characteristics,
different equipment required to install,
different levels of protection from external damage,
different space requirements
different ease of installation,
different ways of making cable repairs.

Did I mention different costs among the various methods?

RE: Cable Laying

And often different cable types for different methods.
