Can I run cat-5 ethernet cable outside?

0

(A) Although cat-5 cable is not rated for outdoor use, I have heard many people using it for years without a problem. If possible, bury the cable at least 8 inches to reduce moisture. Try not to run it along rooftops because the cable can attract lightning. Remember, 100 Meters is your max distance.
