How well does this cable hold up outside under various weather conditions?

I live in SE Oklahoma, where the winter temps get down to 5 degrees and the wind gets pretty vicous. This cable is on the ground for a 75 ft run and has shown no evidence of degredation.

Using my cable in Maine for over four months now. We've had several feet of snow and several days of below zero temperatures. No problems so far.

Only have had it a few months but has survived sub-zero weather, snow, ice, rain. wind. No problems thus far.

I do not believe the cable is rated for outdoors, however I have installed the cable outside and I have not had any problems going on one year. Since it is the same cable on all outdoor BNC analog cameras , I do not see outside installation of this cable as a problem.

I have this camera and have used it outdoors, on my front deck, exclusively. It is semi covered from the elements. From rain, sleet, snow, temps at or around 10°, and high winds, it works fine. The only problem I have had is with the wireless features on occasion. I decided to go with ethernet due to the random loss of connection wirelessly. Otherwise, it works great.

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.

Absolutely yes! The cable is indeed safe for extended periods of outdoor use. I've tested it myself for my irrigation system with an electric pump which takes in water from the lake. It's been holding strong for now about a year -- resisting both scorching sun and icy cold weather. You won't be disappointed.

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

I would say yes. I wanted some heavy duty cable in the offices I support and this stuff works great. This stuff is thick and well wrapped. I would be completely confident in using it outdoors. I have actually had trouble running it under desks and along floorboards because it is so damn rigid.

This cable works well, I have two of them. The signals are digital, so the quality of the cable does not matter much. The sheathing is a little thin and loose so it doesn't feel very durable, but I have not had any problems.

I have used mine outside and it worked great no issues. My guess would be moisture and such that may cause problems.

I think so. I used it for exterior and am sure it will hold up for a long time. In wall is much easier on the life of a cable because it doesn't have any outdoor elements that mess with it. It's also reasonably rigid so i think it will feed through walls nicely.

Never had troubles with cables caught in snow.We have cables on 4 buildings now and never seen any troubles like that.Like Cheryl said "best time to lay cables out is in the spring and summer".Makes it easy to work with and the cables get to lay smooth from the heat.

It's not built to withstand weather. So I doubt it should be outside unless very well protected. It's a good device though and I always received great support.

I have found it to be reliably durable, though I'm not using it as a clothes line. I use it to hold up my car's charging cable in my garage.

That's what I used it for. It will go through the second season in the elements when I put it out shortly. The cord works fine so far.

I used this for connecting controllers within my Christmas display. So I did use them outdoors, but only for a month or so. I'm not sure about long-term exposure outdoors. I'm sure it would be fine within conduit or some area not exposed to UV.
