External stranded / patch Cat 5E

Hi

I'm looking to get a bulk drum (e.g. 305m) of external grade stranded Cat 5E. All I can seem to find though are pre-made lengths or drums of solid core. It does not need to be armoured, just external grade sheath.

This is to supply CCTV cameras.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where this can be obtained by any chance?

Thank you

Just crimp connectors designed for solid core cable onto it.

Thanks.

Started to figure that was the case as all of the pre-made lengths were declared as solid core in the specs.

Thanks

Solid core is still pretty flexible, it's all we use in work. (besides short patch leads)
