Is this cable rated for outdoor use?

I am sorry to say that I don't know. I use it in the house with my computer. I don't remember any label on the cable when I received them, and it doesn't say.

The answer is no. They are NOT rated for outdoor use. With that said, I have used them in both exposed and underground uses but ONLY with GFI protected circuits and have yet to have them trip the breaker. I guess if you caulked them to death, your could make them as about as waterproof as the twist on wire nuts filled with goo.

While it may be mildly water resistant, it certainly is NOT water proof. You would want to run through conduit just like any other cables if you were to run outside.

You can use the cable outside, but it's a must that you use protective housing to guard it from the elements.

Yes, it's rated for outdoor use, though we use it in the garage. Made it fine through the winter.

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

Really depends if its going to be out doors all the time, or just while you are using it. The cable its self is water proof, but the connections are not. I could see using this occasionally, but not for long periods of time, or in a place it could get wet.

This is rated for outdoor use. Ours has been installed under our pergola since last summer - it survived an extremely harsh winter and quite a few storms with extremely high winds. Works great again this year.

This is a good cable for weather exposure, direct burial, etc. Good anywhere but this type has an advantage when exposed to weather or moisture. Assuming your phone company gives you a good connection on their end, this cable should work just fine.

I ran my cable through a pond last year for about 60 LF, though not directly in the water. The soil was saturated with water. I have not had any issues. If needed you could run it through some PVC conduit through the creek, if would be otherwise exposed. This cable is as heavy duty as you can find.

There is no indication either way. I do use mine out of doors. I have wraped the connections with suitable weather proof outdoor tape. Have had no problems in over a year of use.

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

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

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.

that would depend on how its installed. I our case we don't use the cable on a roof. We lay it in our driveway to melt drain channels into hard packed snow and ice - short term use now and then. HTH
