RE: [Nolug] plenum cat5 cable

Hi Joey.

Plenum is mainly for inside wiring when breaching firewalls, I believe. It
doesn't burn.

Shielded cable won't stop a squirrel. Do something like put the cable
inside a piece of good, strong garden hose.

How long a run do you plan? Sometimes it is better to go with fiber.

Does it exist? Has anyone played with it?

I'm looking at options for outdoor cable runs. Dunno if plenum is what I
want
or not. Shielded twisted pair would work, perhaps (go away, little
squirrel)... has anyone seen STP?
