Re: Can Cat5E UTP cable be exposed to the outdoors, or burried?


NEVER use indoor rate cable for outdoors use. Unless you want to replace
it after a couple of years.
You should use PE gelly filled cable, and place it inside a plastic
conduit.
Remember that the maximum distance allowed is 300ft. After that,
Ethernet may not work.
Note that in case of thunderstorm, lightning can sometimes be carried
by that cable back to your switch unless you install protection.
suggestion: according to price, it might be simpler to install a
wireless repeater. Or even maybe just use adirectionnal antenna.
