Yes, and it’s external grade so you can run it internally or externally.

Yep - Although don't run it along with power lines as it's not shielded.

Anything with an RJ45 socket

Yeah that's absolutely fine.

It's generally okay to get near, just aslong as it doesn't continually run alongside a power cable as can cause a lot of data loss!
