Questions & Answers

Is it possible to wrap this cable around a pipe and use it on a hydrant that might get wet?

With the exception of the actual plug where power is connected, the entire cable is water and damp environment resistant. You might want to check with the manufacturer to see if it will work on a fire hydrant, but I wouldn't count on it. If you have a pipe, I recommend running it along the bottom, securing it with tape, and wrapping it in foam insulation to keep the heat inside if you expect it to be cold.

Is it possible to shorten this?

My recommendation is to order the exact length you require rather than cutting it. This is a pre-fabricated length that has been molded to be waterproof. Its warranty would be voided if it was cut, and it would also be vulnerable to water damage.
