It's gray. I bought it at best buy, it's the Insignia brand.

Outdoor grade cable is available, though, as is armoured cable. True. But for $12 for a 100ft cable it is hard not to simply go for it and deal with a replacement a decade later after it finally fails. About five years ago I put up a temporary cable up a tower. It was a red colored cable so definitely not meant for UV environments. Black is better for high UV environments. But red was what I had available and therefore became a temporary installation. Now all of these years later it is somewhat faded but still usable. Hard to call it temporary after several years. I keep thinking I will replace it one of these days with one with UV rated insulation. But it hasn't needed it yet. Bob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

This seems like a great alternative: https://tehnoetic.com/tehnoetic-wireless-adapter-gnu-linux-libre-tet-n150 (I haven't tried it myself though). /Andreas gus...@gusnan.se mailingli...@gusnan.se So it does, and I use the libre-Linux kernel 4.03 -gnu myself; however, it should be mentioned from a recent previous exchange of views on a similar free USB adapter using the same Atheros AR9271 driver that regarding the price of €35 (currently the recent 'weakening' of the dollar viz the euro that's $40.00 plus 2.28 shipping) for a device that may only see the 2.5GHz wireless signal. I don't know how busy that signal is in Europe but in the US it is too busy and any adapter costing that much and being used in the US, should now have the ability to connect to the 5.0GHz wireless signal that many wireless routers offer, or it's not worth $40. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
