Only in PVC pipe an weather tight boxes . not the cable by itself. Probably would hold up but not rated.

That would be nice. But, no. You will need a good quality outdoor extension chord. I would suggest 100 ft.

Have had it running from my house to the garage for over a year now and all good. Some of it's buried but the majority of it is stapled to my fence and have had no connectivity problems with it. It's made for outdoors, so you've selected the right cable.

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

It's not advertised as such, so it probably is not rated for outdoor use. That being said, I will add that the overall quality seems to be very good, and if the connection was suitably waterproofed (plastic and tape at least), I don't believe there would be a problem for short term usage. Since it wasn't designed or built for outdoor use (if it were, you can be sure it would say so!) there is no way to know how long or well it will stand up to extreme temperatures, UV rays, humidity, etc. If I had a reason to I would use mine outdoors, but I would expect it to fail at some point. To be honest, I didn't read the terms of the warranty, so I can't say whether it would be covered if used outside. But they're very reasonably priced, should you need to replace it! I've had excellent results with this company's products; because of that I say go for it!

ran ours all last winter, it was hooked up to a outdoor power strip which was run off of a 100 ft heavy duty extension cord, so I think you would be fine using an outdoor heavy duty cord. I would recommend covering the connection to keep out moisture with a cord connector or even a plastic 2 liter bottle, just cut a slice in the side of it and stick the cord ends inside it.

that would depend on how its installed. I our case we don't use the cable on a roof. We lay it in our driveway to melt drain channels into hard packed snow and ice - short term use now and then. HTH

It is not rated for outdoor use. I'm a contractor and I wouldn't use it outside. This is standard cat5e. There is cable rated for outdoor use but it is much more expensive and rightly so. If anyone tells you to use it outside they aren't professionals.

Yes, this should be fine for standard street running...but the throw is limited so I would use something bigger for the trail.

If this is going to be used outdoors you need to use outdoor rated cable. If not then no.

While it may be mildly water resistant, it certainly is NOT water proof. You would want to run through conduit just like any other cables if you were to run outside.

It is fine to use outdoors. However, if you use an extension cord you will want to make certain it is appropriate for outdoor use.

Yes, but not outdoors in the elements, the cable is not rated for outdoor and underground... and if it will be bent drastically while that cold it may still not be suitable.

The power cable is fairly robust and well-insulated, but I would be worried about water getting into the speed control if it rains. As other have said, if the fan is used in an outdoor area that is covered then you should be okay.

I would not recommend it, you will have to get one that is rated weather resistant, this cable after I installed it didn't work to begin with so I would look into a different one.

I'm not an expert, but if you try/test it with a shorter cable and it works fine, I would say the run is too long. Hope that helps

Most cables are waterproof except for the connector ends. But the last comment is right. If you have to run it outside put it through a pvc pipe or something because sun rots most flexible plastics.
