Network cable suitable for running outside

Zirax · 17-09-2007, 10:28

Due to the electrical wiring in my house being in rather weird places, it looks like it will be best to run network cable outside for a small stretch. Rather than running ducting outside which will look pants, is there any network cable that will cope with being outside in all weather exposed to the elements. Back in my uni house I just had cat5e strung between windows, however would something like cat6 be better?
