I want to run a network cable externaly to an IP camera - will
"ordinary" Cat5e cable be up to the job light, cold, rain etc?

You can get outdoor cat5 which is UV resistant.


OK next question;- my IP cam has a 12v 1A power supply - I plan to
power it via PoE down said network cable..how much cable can I run
before cable losses will liely be too much for the camera to operate??
