RE: Cat5 cable for running outside

["Nigel Giddings" <nigel.giddings@xxxxxxx>]

I have 150 Metres of (internal grade) CAT5e running temporarily up the
garden via some Krone Blocks and Lightning arrestors, works fine, even
after I made a twisted joint with insulating tape after it was cut when
someone ran over it with the Lawn Mower (Not me...), oh yeah, I also cut
through some tray work in the house with an angle grinder that had the
cable on it, another taped joint.... Works great at 100M...

Yeah, that's pretty much it ;-)

I was going to fit these though:

Running outside is not ideal, but I'm in a bit of a corner ATM though.

Thanks,
