How deep do you have to bury the cat5 cable

Hello Kdjsj5,There is really no minimum, but I would recommend under the frost line. Maybe about a foot or so.Thank you for your question.Sincerely,Taylor W.VIVO

I'm not sure it matters. Some companies bury them just a couple inches down. I'm burying mine with my water line, 20 inches or so.

I left mine still tied by the cable tie. I only have 18 inches exposed. I would guess 12 or 15 feet.

Cat5 and Cat6 are different cables. This cable could either be buried (no conduit required) or left on a surface. I would expect that sun exposure would damage the cable more.

I ran monster speaker wire through it and this fit well. Don't really know what CAT5 is.....sorry.

Cat5 and Cat6 cable is only considered reliable for 100m which is about 300ft plus 20 ft for patch cables. You will need to use an extender unit to boost the signal on both ends.

yes you have to put your own ends on and use the straight through design connections the premade cables wont work. Put your own ends on i used the EX-RJ45 from amazon they allow you to push the wire out the end so you can double check position of color code wire . The main difference between 5 and 6 is wire size i have 8 cat5s it carries both power and sound but since i didn't use the sound on some it gave me an extra video connection I used the 2.5 power adapters to make a power tee connection this saved me from running extra cat5

We do not see any issues with POE on these units until approx 300' on cat5e. so 80' should be just fine.

If you've got a molded plug like in the picture, 2-2/3 is fine. If you have an industrial type plug (one where you can disassemble it and replace the cable), then you'd need the deeper one.

the widest part of the pinhole is at best 3/8" wide. I can imagine a Cat6 and a thin power cable. A 3rd cable with the mentioned combo I don't see possible. No chance for a standard "PC power cable" to fit through that pinhole as an example.

I buried all wireing and connectors 2" then I put mulch over entire area. This was in landscape area

You can run cat5 ethernet up to 300ft without signal loss. Any further you will need a signal repeater.

No. I just encountered the same issue. 14 inches is the exact depth of my receiver. If I didn't have to plug anything in to the back, it would be fine. With the 2 inches all the cables stick out, my only option is cutting a hole in the back. I was excited to keep the cord mess inside the cabinet behind the receiver. It doesn't look like this is going to be possible.

It is supposed to be...I have it hanging in air between 2 buildings...I stretched a small, 3/16" stranded steel cable between 2 buildings, about 25 ft...then I loosely wrapped the CAT5 around the steel cable...that way the CAT5 is not supporting any weight if, for example, in winter we get a good ice storm and the cable gets covered with a good layer of ice...so far it's worked...

No, you need over an inch clearance from the edge of the plug to the floor.

They have similar hardware like installing an electrical outlet. I would say no deeper than 4 inches.

It depends on how deep it is buried. These devices are normally used to pick out a single cable from a bundle of wires. You may be better off with a metal detector.

I put mine in conduit. My guess is you would get twice the life of regular cable. If it is long term conduit is not that expensive!
