I see that the cord lists this as SJT (for indoor use only) , no W marked on cable for outdoor use

I'm using it outdoors without any issues. Don't recall any marking on the cord as to how it should be used.

The cord itself, and the UL label on the cord, has no marking or indication for outdoor use. I'm surprised that Amazon claims this is for outdoor use. With UL-rated extension cords, I believe that "outdoor use" has a specific legal meaning.

Thanks, usually a W included with the SJT would indicate that it is made for outdoor use as well as indoor(it's made with different insulation and jacket compounds to better withstand the elements of outdoor use). Without it means it is made for indoors only, I'm sure they can be used for outdoors as well, but will it fare better in the elements? If these are being sold for outdoor use, I would like it to have those markings just to be safe. For my use that is.

Yes it can be used for indoors but for best results mount it outside and run the cable inside

We use an outdoor extension cord. If that isn't the problem call the company.

here is what the manual says "if using an extension cord it must be rated no less than that of the appliance. extension cords must be marked with the letter"W" and with a tag stating "suitable for use with outdoor appliance"

I do not believe this is advertised to be used both indoors and outdoors in the same way that you might use certain types of Christmas lights and extension cords either inside or outside. Personally, I would not use it outdoors.

I'm no electrician, but I believe is is for indoor use only because it don't look like it's water proof. I have the wires run from inside the house to outside outlets and pole light in the front yard. I love this unit though.

I think its for indoor. I mounted mind inside the garage. Just pull the cord out to where its needed handles 100 ft very well.

I use the cable both indoor and outdoor. If you use it outdoor, wrap the connector with electrician's tape. It works well for me.

It is not rated for outdoor use. I'm a contractor and I wouldn't use it outside. This is standard cat5e. There is cable rated for outdoor use but it is much more expensive and rightly so. If anyone tells you to use it outside they aren't professionals.

My first thought would be to contact the manufacturer. If they say you can use a standard power cord, then buy it locally.

SJTW is an industry abbreviation used on wire and cable. S is for service; J for junior (which means hard service instead of extra hard); T is the coating (thermoplastic/vinyl); W is weather approved. It is a hard service, thermoplastic cable rated for 300V and approved for outdoor use. I agree it is avery good cable for the price.

I am intrigued as to why, but there does not seem to be a technical reason why not just so long as your antenna has line of site to the towers, and the outdoor antenna can operate okay indoor. I would definitely test it first, i.e. ask for a 15 to 30 day period of return.

Hi Alan,I think this is not meant for outdoor. You can check their entire product line (including some outdoor use products) at: www.carlofet.com

The cord is covered under UL 817, which is rated only for indoor use (officially).There's nothing to prevent you from using them outdoors, but that's not what they are designed for.

If this is for a residential installation it doesn't matter since this is a low voltage cable as most low volt cables are compliant in residential homes. If this is for a commercial building then it will need to be plenum rated which this cable is not, so it is not suitable for commercial application.

correction to my answer not sure if it is for outdoor use, but i use it outdoors only when plugged into my generation with no issues. it is made for a generator which you can not be used indoors.
