Double jacket cable comes in both indoor and outdoor. The difference between the two is the mixed into compound. There are chemicals that make the PE UV rated. They could both feel the exact same (durable and heavy) but one could be indoor and crumble in a couple years from sun and one could be outdoor and last for years. You really have to find a reliable supplier that will provide information because many just think an aluminum foil shield makes it outdoor. THIS IS FAR FROM THE CASE.
Just because it is heavy does not mean it will be good in the sun. -Jeff Ehman General Manager Phone: (312) 205-2509 "There is a difference" -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Scott Carullo Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 3:57 PM To: WISPA General List Subject: Re: [WISPA] Extra jacketed CAT5e There is outdoor cable with two jackets I saw some about a month ago and if I find the info I'll send it over.

We put a 150 foot run on a tower and crossed a flat roof and down a wall with another drop. Both started to loose the outer jacket within a couple of years, it just split apart and exposed the indoor cable to the elements. We've since replaced both runs. I don't have a part number but wanted you to know our experience.
