I would take their ratings with a grain of salt...the black one is listed as being white; it is probably the same part as the white one.

yes mate.
although i;m not too bothered.
it will only be a couple of meters and i'm willing to plaster over the cable to match the rest of my exterior wall. Exernal grade cable would be a bonus.
Cheers,
Mubs

too expensive buddy. this is'nt a pc to router set up where a cheap wireless dongle will do the trick,
it's dvb to router to pc.
belkin gamind adaptors are also too expensive and the ddwrt firmware route seems too taxing and i'll again have to go out and buy a compatible router to start with.
even after taking all of that into account i can't risk any drop outs in the connection that is sometimes associated with wireless.
besides i don't mind drilling two holes and feeding a cable through the walls. the cables will on be visible on the outside of my house only so it will be pretty non intrusive.
i'm definately going for one of the cables linked above, though both cables are priced the same, one seems to have a different manufacturers code and the manufacturers site doesn't give any info. and like i said i'm not too bothered about the cable being external grade but if it is then that would be a bonus.

it will be under direct sunlight after midday.
i'm gonna paint it to protect from uv.
if i can be bothered i'l plaster over it in the summer when i decorate.
as for now i think ill just buy this one as the manufacturers code has a g in the middle. hoping that means its more special than its counterpart lol:

It isn't the cable but what you enclose it in.
Typically, cable used in exterior runs should be run through conduit.
Failing that, the cable you would be looking for should be "firewall plenum rated".
Firewall in this case refers to physical firewall, as in "passed through stuffing tubes between walls".

cheers for that buddy.
what do you mean by stuffing tubes between walls?
and a aint going anywhere near conduit. it looks ratty on the outside of my house.
i have read about guys who have run regular cable outside for years and it still works.
it obviously is a risk no doubt but i'm also willing to add a thin layer of paint and will hope that is reasonable protection against uv.
if i feel reallly crazy. i'll plaster over the cable.
btw. is uv really that dangerous. i just cant imagine the plastic cover melting in the sun.

Yes, but over a long time. BTW...if you have the choice, then run the cable high enough that it will not get covered in snow. Also, white cables are better because they don't get so hot in the sunlight.

sound mate,
thanks allot.
cable will be grey and snow is not major problem anymore with global warming but cable should still be high enough just in case.
