Heading back to Calgary in a couple weeks. Want to get some outdoor CAT5e run for security cams.

Anyone know of a source for decent outdoor CAT5E? Needs to be CMX (UV-rated), not burial. Thanks.

If by chance anyone has a partial box/spool and wants to get rid of it, let me know. I suspect I need about 300ft

Thanks

I have a few runs of these (https://www.infinitecables.com/cat5e-cat6-cat6a-cat8/outdoor-industrial-ip-rated-cables-and-accessories/outdoor-ip68-cables-en/rj45-male-with-ip68-shroud-to-rj45-male-with-ip68-shroud-cat6-utp-outdoor-uv-direct-burial-patch-cable-black/) that I might be able to let go. What lengths approx would you need? No mention of CMX on the jacket, just that it's UTP UV Direct Burial rated.

Otherwise, I buy all my cables from Infinite Cables now, they have bulk spools as well. $184 for 1000ft. Free shipping above $50 I believe and its typically via Purolator and I get it within a week.

If you need to definitely confirm the UV rating, get a hold of their support/sales team. They're really good at answering emails and should be able to confirm for you if it meets CMX rating.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I can't use black. Need to find either grey or beige to blend in a bit. It seems black is common and available but the other colors not so much. Thanks for the info on infinitecables. I've used them before but had forgotten all about them being out of the country for the past 4.5 years.

Cheers
