yes, this worked great networking two houses together great quality and price. I have mind ran outside in the air between house 1and 2 and with all the snow, ice, and rain no problems so far and no interruption in service

Lay the wire out where you want to contain your pet Dig a trench that is about 2 inches deep and bury the wire. Hook each end of the wires to the power box and you should be ready to go.

I would say no, because cat 6 cable is a little thicket than cat5 connector.

It is supposed to be...I have it hanging in air between 2 buildings...I stretched a small, 3/16" stranded steel cable between 2 buildings, about 25 ft...then I loosely wrapped the CAT5 around the steel cable...that way the CAT5 is not supporting any weight if, for example, in winter we get a good ice storm and the cable gets covered with a good layer of ice...so far it's worked...

This doesn't. You can run one wire that covers both data and power. It's also low voltage so there are fewer limitations as to where and how you run it (cat5/cat6)

That is up to you. Not sure code requires any conduit for network cable as your phone lines and cable tv lines enter the home bare and with no conduit once they are inside walls. I would advise lightning arresting modules at each end of this cable and perhaps a dedicated earth ground. I've had no experience with lightning hitting burials, but it can happen. You can minimize your loss of equipment and risk of fire if you use CAT5/6 lighting protection modules. If you use fiber instead coupled with media converters you don't have to worry about lightning strikes.

just a note. you do not need to put the cord in a pvc pipe, you can just bury it. I have some buried for over 5 years with no problem. You can also tap into ant existing low voltage line you might have already, no need then to run to the transformer, just snip off the end terminals and splice to any existing 12 volt line.

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

Hello Martha,This specific cable isn't recommended for outdoor. The direct sunlight over a period of time might shorten the life of the product. I would recommend our same cable in a waterproof/outdoor option: New 500 ft bulk Cat5e Ethernet Cable / Wire UTP Pull Box 500ft Cat-5e Waterproof Outdoor / Direct Burial ~ VIVO (CABLE-V011)Thank you,Taylor W.VIVO

Yes I think you should be able to. I have cat 5 from my cable modem to it and run wireless off of it throughout my business, and I run my wireless security cams through it.

There are no provisions for the shield on this patch panel. If using a shielded cat 6 you will have to come up with some sort of termination for the shield wire from the cables to the isolated ground. No big deal, it's just not included on the panel.

I would not bury it in the ground. I Would purchase an extension chord and just hook it to that. There is enough chord to do what you want however.

Yes, it's my understanding this wire is rated to be buried in the ground. I buried mine several months ago and have had no problems.

yes. I have it outside for the last 1.5 years and it has worked great. I believe you could also bury it....

It depends on how deep it is buried. These devices are normally used to pick out a single cable from a bundle of wires. You may be better off with a metal detector.

Hello Kendall,I would say this cable is not what you need. You'll want an outdoor cable, like this one we offer: New 1,000 ft bulk Cat5e Ethernet Cable / Wire UTP Pull Box 1,000ft Cat-5e Waterproof Outdoor / Direct Burial / Underground ~ VIVO (CABLE-V003)Thank you for your question.Taylor W.VIVO
