This cable is UV-rated. Thanks for your question. Please feel free to follow up with any further question you may have! Taylor W. VIVO

The package does not indicate anywhere that it is. The cable is thin compared to in-wall cables I have purchased. Just based on the fact that it is white (to blend in or be less noticeable than the black/grey/charcoal cables) it leads me to assume it is not. Hope that helps.

Not that I'm aware of but I haven't had a problem with the cable and it's been installed and underground for about a year now. We've had well above average rainfall here in the south east US and not one problem. My parents use it to stream blu ray at their home next door from my NAS.

To the best of my knowledge it is. I have run this wire along a fence. I laced it through the bottom of the fence and then ran it along the top of the fence. I have had no problems with the wire being exposed to the sun or rain.Hope this answers your question.

PVC (polyvinylchloride) plastic insulation is naturally water resistant.It's black color also makes it UV resistant.Note: resistant is not the same as water proof, but its pretty close.The other advantage for this wire is 18 gauge is bigger than manyother electric fence wires and will take more abuse.

Yes, it's a twined cable. And why does it surprise you that the cable jacket is red? Most other cables you'll find that the cable jacket is entirely black. So long as the clamps are properly colored that's all that matters.

It is not uv rated. We used up to 6 ft. exposed on each of 7 exterior cameras, we just taped the exposed wire.

Yes, the cable is sun resistant, but you want to place the sensor away from direct sunlight so that you can get an accurate reading

It is heavier duty than most indoor cables. But I don't think it is technically outdoor grade.

Hello Joseph, In the product description we mention that the cable is unshielded twisted pure copper. Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank you, Taylor W. VIVO

Yes and no. If you put it in conduit, then it's protected enough you should be fine. It is not an outdoor rated cable, however.

My cables are covered from the weather and from vandals. I would call swann support team and ask if it is resistant.

I used it for an outdoor potting bench, even though it's labeled for indoor use. So far there doesn't seem to be a problem, no peeling or anything, and it's been well over a year in the AZ sun. I couldn't tell you if it's actually UV resistant though.....

Considering that if it was UV rated they would brag about it I would say no! the outside protection does not seem heavy or thick such as UV rated electrical wire. Plan on interior or conduit for this!

This cable differ from indoor type is that it has an extra outer thick shielding plastic coat. It is mainly to help protecting it from outdoor UV rays and heat and water. I will need to wait 2 years to tell if it is worth it.

Seems to me like it was made of nylon or something similar, mine is not exposed to UV rays so I can't testify to it holding up

NOT SURE. LOOK AT cat5ecableguy.com. Weather and uv resistant is listed as made in CHINA. Look undr product; #c5e-1000-cmxtt. ANYWAY, my 200 ft runs from my house to my computer room in my shop. The run is approximately 15 ft off the ground from roof top to roof top. Not a problem. Wish I had used this years ago. ALOHA FROM HAWAII. JA
