Cat 5 out side.
- Thread starter .one.
- Start date
Use shielded CAT5 if you care about security and don't make it easily accessible to people/animals.
So there is no kind of startrek device which can sniff the info from the cable If the cable is at head hight ?
Serious question by the way.

There's probably something, but you'd have to be an attractive target first for someone to bother surely?
wear-and-tear wise it ought to be fine. special "outdoor" cable would be better though.
from the consideration of data safety? no, wired cables are as secure as an armoured train in comparison to any type of wireless.
Ethernet cables emit very little EM in the first place, and because they're twisted, after more than about 1cm away from the cable all the EM would jumble together.
i'd estimate that harvesting data from even a humble CAT.5 cable without physically connecting a device to the conductors themselves is almost impossible.
