| Re: Outdoor rated Cat5 required? I buy my outdoor cable from Altex (www.altex.com) in Carrolton (NW Dallas) but they have several locations in Texas.

The direct burial unshielded cable is listed at $.31 per foot, but when you order a 1000 ft (one box) the price drops to around 180ish.
Their direct burial cable is kinda cool in that it has what appears to be a paper sleave around the cable... but when it gets wet it releases a gell similiar to icky-pick found in gell filled cable. It's dry when you install it and turns to gell-filled if water compromises the jacket. I use it for my tower installations.
I buy the regular outdoor stuff from them (white jacket) for around 135 per 1000 ft for customer installs. Their website shows it for $.22 ft but it doesn't do the quantity discount for some reason.

US | Re: Outdoor rated Cat5 required? I checked with Graybar in Houston and it was $130 for regular Cat5 indoor, and $201 for outdoor. I just ordered some from the cat5cableguy a while back, so we'll see how this goes. | |

Was this the essex stuff that we were talking about? It sounds like you are talking about the mowhawk outdoor that they stock. You have to be very specific about it. I had to drill our rep about outdoor cable for about 10 minutes until he found something that was not flooded (mowhawk). I can get you the exact part number if you want me to. It should be like 100$ or so. | |
