I have 2 runs of Ethernet cable (6 and 5) running OUTSIDE just attached into my cement siding with screws. Can use this product on exterior. Georgia?

Plastic feels solid and SHOULD be able to use on the exterior. That being said, I am not an engineer or have any expertise on what should or shouldn't work. I always suggest you consult with a professional.

I'm not an installer, but here's my thought . . . RG6 cable is run outside quite a bit, but it has thicker insulation and the 18-gauge wire conductor is well protected. Cat 5/6 cable is specifically inside wall wire (plenum rated if near air ducts) has 8 thin wires that you want protected from animals/vermins, and it has thinner insulation that will turn brittle by UV rays in hot Georgia summers, and lots of expansion/contraction. It will work OK until it doesn't --- if the Cat 5/6 wiring is permanent for you or the next home owner, treat it like electrical and protect it in EMT metal or vinyl tubing.

I used it outside a few months ago to plug holes I had drilled in vinyl siding to run wires to my security cameras and it seem to be holding up fine so far.

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

Yes, you can. I have mine in the attic with 3 feet of attic insulation. The signal is awesome even if i am on the street about 50 feet away from my driveway. This AP comes with PoE, utilized that and less wiring for you.

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

yes but don't use it outside only indoor use. It's a cable but has a plastic outside..

Yes it can be used outside. As long as you link all three on the same strip.

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

Yes they can. I have mine installed outside. You can protect by using a rubber sleeve tape with almagamating tape when connecting your F type service cables.

What you do is put the plastic screw on the wire first then put the split rubber gasket on. Then plug the Ethernet in then screw the plastic from there. The tighter you screw it on, the more weather proof it will be.

Exterior cable would of course be ideal due to the durability of the cable covering but this will work fine. The only problem would be possible future failure due to breakdown of the covering but this would certainly take some time to occur. The covering is a PVC type so it should last for a significant time period and the cost is very reasonable.

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!

As a epoxy, i would say no....Companies make specific products for outdoor use....

This particular unit is not rated for outdoor use. Look for more information here:"http://www.engeniustech.com/business/Directory/business-networking/outdoor-access-points-client-bridges_c89_m331/&quo;t;Another good option is to search for outdoor access point. With the proper placement (surge protection recommended) this will throw a good signal across your yard. Check your neighbors to make sure you don't cause interference.

I can't say for certain, but I don't think it would. I'm assuming this is not a covered, or three seasons type of porch and I don't think that Enduro-Var is meant for exterior applications. General Finishes is an excellent manufacturer and I highly recommend them, but I would not use Enduro-Var for that application without consulting them directly first. I bet they make a great product that is meant for your application.
