Reminds me of a funny story.

A friend bought a new house. Had to wait for phone service to come.
Eventually they came and put in a temporary cable sitting on the ground.
Installer told my friend that another crew would come to bury a permanent
cable.

3 month go by. After calling a few times and told they would be there soon,
my buddy got tired of mowing around the cable and just burried it himself.

Fast forward 6 years. My buddy comes home from work and these guys are
tearing up his lawn putting in a cable. He asks them what they hell they
are doing. Seems that they just came across this 6 year old work order.....

I need to bury some cable for a remote vehicle sensor. I have a length of
Belden 8451 2 conductor, shielded, PVC outside jacket. It doesn't seem to
be "burial rated". WHat is it about cable that makes it NOT direct
buriable? Even if its not rated for direct burial, will it work? The sensor
is a VR type sensor. no power involved. Phone line would work. I plan on
putting it in PVC pipe, does it make any difference? How do I make a splice
to the existing cable such that both conductors and the shield are
waterresistant.

Of course the alternative is to just break down and buy 200ft of burial
cable...but thats no fun....
