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.
