Is this cable ok to use outdoors?

Not sure...there was nothing in the packaging that indicated it could be used outside. You might want to ask someone at radio shack or best buy off their opinion.

Dear Sam,Thank you for your question regarding our BlueRigger Cat5e Ethernet Patch Cable. This cable is intended for indoor use. It's connectors are not watertight, and it could be damaged by long-term exposure to the elements.Please contact us if you have any additional questions.Thank you,BlueRigger LLC

Can be used inside or out but if used outside would recommend that you do something to protect the connectors from the weather.

My cables are covered from the weather and from vandals. I would call swann support team and ask if it is resistant.

Yes, this cable can be used outdoors. As long as your cameras are weatherproof then you can run this outdoors I have some of this wire and I put it under the siding on my home so it's not really exposed to much weather but it can still be used outside. I don't think it should be exposed directly to sunlight though. I do recommend to run it in conduit if it's going to be directly exposed outside to protect from criminals with wire cutters and the weather in general since it's pretty thin. I just ran mine under the siding under my home so if you have siding that's a good place to hide and protect the wire. Yes, this cable can be used outdoors.

Outdoors shouldnt hurt at all, however if you need a cable this long, it will not work without a signal booster

Yes, my cable is about 75% out exposed to the elements, mostly the sun and its been working great since i got it

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.

should be no problem. I use mine outside and have had not problem. I would not leave it out in the weather for extended periods

Not sure what the question really means, if you could further explain, but I'll give it a shot. If what you mean is if the cable is usable outdoors, mine runs through the wall and out side, and the side of the house to get to the antenna. So yes it works for external use. Hope this is helpful!

I am using this cord for my RV it is holding up very well in outdoor weather so i do not think you will have any problems with it

I am currently using it outdoors on my cable, BUT, as it needs to be plugged in, I have a weather resistant outlet close.

Yes, the cable itself is safe, but you should keep plugs in and out always dry.

Hello Alex, Yes the body of the cable can be outside. However the cable cannot be installed with direct burial underground. If you were feeding the cable through the ground, it would need to be fed through a PVC pipe. Thanks, Mediabridge Customer Support

I would not recommend it for outside use, its for indoor items that you constantly have to plugin and unplug, like cell phones, coffee makers, things like that. Outside have ground fault, if it gets wet if trips the fault. This item is not made for being exposed to the elements as far as I can see.

I am using it outdoors. I sealed the connector at the antenna with coax seal and have not had a problem

Should not be a problem, cable is durable enough. Local building electrical codes would be a factor if new construction install after electrical inspector signs off. otherwise go for it for neatness.
