is regular Cat5e cable usable outside? Discussion Threadis regular Cat5e cable usable outside? Electrical Advice
notice i didnt say "suitable outside"
rather than me buying a drum of external cat6, running it between house and shed, with an outlet socket at each end and a couple of short patch leads for the modem and computer end..... can i just use cat5e with rj45 terminations directly, but cover it with something.. or thread it through pipe on the higher risk areas of the route?
The route is around 30m... along a brick wall, under the path (or between the slabs) ... along a fence and into the shed... Its a posh shed with a gaming pc set up inside... and the wifi isnt quite up to scratch.
I have 2 boxes of regular CAT5e in stock and a bag of terminations....... i do not have any external CAT6...
Is it a bodge.... or is it a solution for the customer that doesn't want to spend a great deal.
