I've switched plans and instead of going mostly wireless, I purchased a Nighthawk Router and I'm cabling to all the rooms that need ethernet and the Nighthawk has the perfect number of LAN ports. My only problem so far is that I can't access the living room because of the way our roof is made so I need to take the CAT6 and go thru the wall of the house and run it externally. I'm using bare copper CAT6 outdoor/direct burial solid ethernet cable, 23AWG, CMX waterproof wire for all my cabling. Can I safely run this thru PVC conduit on the outside of the house and not have to worry about the cable getting harmed by the elements? I live in the Midwest (MO) and we get all four seasons, some harsher than others, lol. Any advice would be appreciated.
Everything I have read says that the cable I bought should be good, just wanted some other opinions. 🙂 The way I'm planning on running it, there wont be a chance for water to get to the cable. I'll just have to cross my fingers at this point. Thank you for the advice!
