Can coaxial cable start a fire?
A coaxial cable doesn't have enough voltage to cause a fire on its own. The only time a fire may occur is during a momentary surge in power, such as when a phone call first comes in. If the wire is damaged, it could then give off a small spark that could catch highly flammable materials nearby.
