CAT 5 Underground

[jijo_robert]

I have CAT 5 wire running to some controls. These are out door, and wires need to be burried. Do I need to worry about any surge or other issues?

Thanks

You always have to worry about surges when burring cable and you'll also need to use direct burial cat5 if you want it to last.
