7. Can I run CAT-5e ethernet cable outside?

CAT-5e cable is not rated for outdoor use, however it can generally be
used without a problem. If possible, run the cable through some kind
of conduit to prevent moisture or an attractive site for lightning to
strike. You should be able to find gray PVC conduit suitable for cable
at any hardware store. Remember, 100 Meters is your max distance,
without some kind of hub, bridge or amplification.
