There is plenty of industrial quality cable that fits these purposes. Furthermore, it's typically stranded, whereas most varieties of spooled Cat5/6 will be solid core, which is not as durable and more difficult to terminate in, say, terminal blocks -- especially spring-loaded.
I use this stuff all over the place for 1Wire, RTDs, and other sensor cabling and IO. It is typically far more durable than your average cat5. With only a few conductors, you will get a much thicker, durable, weather and fire-proof cable at a smaller diameter. C On 6/1/2016 1:33 PM, Peter Hollenbeck wrote: > Any thoughts on outdoor use?
