Outdoor cable suggestions

Recommended Posts

I have a posting in the "General system design" section of the forum concerning an system upgrade involving a GE DVMre and several GE Legend domes (as well as other cameras).

 

In that posting, I discuss my proposed wiring using outdoor cable runs. I plan to daisy-chain the data, but GE recommends 22 awg UTP wire for the data (they don't like the idea of CAT5/5E).

 

Does any one know of a source for outdoor(UV resistant, weatherproof) 22 awg single or double-pair UTP?

 

I know outdoor CAT5 and CAT6 (23 awg) are available. I only need a total of 4 pairs if I daisy-chain the data wires (2 domes plus one other camera). Is there a problem running data signals down one of the pairs of the CAT cable with video on the other three?

 

I'm calling GE again tomorrow.

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Mark
