cat5 should be fine outside if you want to protect it from water then buy some amalgamating tape it's normally used to protect connectors that go to sky dish but can work to cover the whole cable an IT Tec I used to work with always used it for outside cables and never had any problems.

I shall order the tape today as the network cable was orderd yesturday & then ready for the weekend

Your other question… if you’re just wanting 100Mbps then just pick something with the number of ports you require.

Okay thanks ill try and get a gigabit switch then
