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

I definitely used it outdoors, and wouldn't recommend it. It attracts rodents, and although it's inexpensive, isn't the best choice by any means for outdoor use.

It is rated for indoor use only, search for burial rated cable, buy the gell injected..

The one I purchased says that if it is not marked for outdoor use, it is ONLY for use indoors. And mine is NOT marked outdoor. So, my guess is no.

I would NOT recommend it for outdoor use as it is not treated lumber and would probably become warped or damaged from wet weather. Everything in the guide shows for indoor use but nothing states it is only for indoor use. It is very sturdy, but do not know if it would hold up outdoors.

Not sure it's meant for outdoor use. I would think it would be fine as long as it doesn't get rwined on.

It is very well built. I think you could use it outdoors in moderate conditions but it's not specifically built for that purpose. In a garage or in a covered electrical outlet i would think would be fine. Somewhere out exposed to rain or snow i would not recommend, but then again i would not recommend any plugged in electrical connections in such environments.

No, I returned it because it was in the outdoor section, but it was not rated for outdoor use.

I think it would be great for outdoor use as long as it is sheltered by the rain. Otherwise, its pretty heavy...won't fly away in the wind. I use it on the inside of my slider, it works awesome!

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

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.

The instructions say yes. It is approved for outdoor use but needs to be covered and dry. under a porch or on a covered porch. Does get hot so follow instructions on proper clearance. Mine is in my garage and works good for a small area.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

Since the description does not say it is weatherproof, I would not use it outdoors.

Maybe. if the manufacturer's recommendations say it's ok for outdoor use. I no longer have this one anymore, it quick working about 6 months after I bought it and went to the pet store for a different type. I seem to remember my mom having this brand for an outside cat who slept in the garage in a covered bed, she never had problems with it, and it was always plugged in.

Product is not rated for use outdoor and because its uses electric I would not recommend exposuring it to getting wet.

I would assume it has a fire rating,.as it is designed for use over hot areas, and as for out door use, I have had two installed outdoors in a covered patio area that still look new 3 years later
