installation question on wiring, how to anchor/secure cat5e to an interior fiberglass panel

i have some exterior cameras to mount outside a metal warehouse. theinternal facing of the wall is layered with this fiberglass sheeting. its not the pillowy stuff, its firm like corrugated board.

i'm going to make entry and mount the camera outside, weatherproof those mounts, then
as i make penetration through the fiberglass sheeting, what is the best way to secure it so that it is compliant to building and electrical code?

i can't run the wire internally between the metal wall and the fiberglass sheeting as it would entail taking down the fiberglass sheeting and the wires would get exposed anyway as they have to pass around the vertical support beams. or is this the way to go?

thanks so much,

peter

If you are mounting to the outside wall I would also use the 3M tape to mount the holders.

You can also create your own cableway using wiring duct. You can pick this up at a Grainger or any electrical supply store.

You may get better results searching for "surface raceway" since that's what NFPA part 70 (aka National Electric Code) calls it.
