    these guys do Ubiquiti products, but i'm not sure if they stock that cable.

    they might be able to order it in, so it might be worth asking.

    I've been looking for it too, not on Wi-Pipes website, and i emailed before, asking if they'd be getting it and never got a response.

    You can get the exact same outdoor cable from City Electrical(CEF) for around €55 for a 305Mtr coil.

    Bigpaddy, I tried the cable you mentioned but it was not outdoor. It was advertised as outdoor but the CEF cable has a double PVC coat and is the best I've seen in a while.

    Hi there , Thanks for the reply , I have some of this
    http://www.tvtrade.ie/outdoor-cat5-u...net-cable.html

    Seems pretty week, Does not seem to have very good Shielding and I do not think it would be that Weather-proof as it might crack over a period of time. I think Net gear has some stuff as well but still looking for something like this.


    Thanks everyone for there continued input!

    Like I said, I have tried the Ubiquiti cable and it is good stuff however there is no apparent difference in the cable we purchase from CEF.
    Give their Tralee office a call. I'm sure they can deliver.
    I've been using this cable for some time now without any issues.

    KBB is right on this. CEF seem to be the only ones anywhere in Irl. who do the good double layered Cat5e.Usually Emitex brand. I have'nt got any recently so can't tell you the price. Tv trade did have black outdoor but it was single coated and not much better than ordinary cat5.

    Thanks KBB , red sean

    Will Give CEF a call in the morning

    Excellent
