[QUOTE="Rod Williamson, post: 124163, member: 9032"] Using normal cat 5 cable externally is bad practice. Although your circuit will work it is not designed to withstand external environments (weather, temp changes etc) therefore vastly reducing its life. However it is common practice to install internal grade cable in conduit or galv trunking outside. Got this from cable monkey: CCS Enhanced Category 5 Solid External cable is the ideal solution if you have to run your cable from building to building. Suitable for use with Catenarys, in ducts or on the side of buildings. With excellence performance records, this cable exceeds TIA/EIA Enhanced Category 5 specifications. - Available in 100 metre , 305 & 500 metre reels The only difference between CAT5 & CAT5e cable is the test (4 point for CAT5 and 13 point for CAT5e) so go with the cheaper CAT5 option.
