RE: [Nolug] plenum cat5 cable

Let me clarify a little. Sealed conduit such as PVC (and there is a special
type I believe). This prevents the cable from getting wet and the ends
really should go into each building (structure) this prevents water from
getting into them and allowing the cable to sit in water. Which from what I
understand will cause it to fail eventually. (It's PVC, you would think it
could sit in water...) There is a special type of Romex you can buy for
outside power without the conduit, but I don't know about data cable for the
same thing.

Wireless with good antennas!!

Gotta mess with you Joey.

Plenum is for fire protection, it won't give off fumes. It really has
nothing to do with the strength of the cable. For outside runs you would
really want to put it in some sealed conduit if possible.

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?
