I want to run a length of CAT 6 (like CAT 5 but better ?)
across part of the lawn (about 10 feet) to the shed - no possibility of a spade
going through it or other mechanical damage - is subjection to continuous damp
likely to be damaging or should I get away with it ? I can put it in a length
of hosepipe if that helps.
Its CAT 6 because I bought a reel of it a while back and have some left over.

Thanks

I would put it in something waterproof, I would go for the blue mains
water pipe, its cheep and tough.

Which is going to cause enormous confusion to anyone who digs it up...

Isn't the pipe for data cables green? That's what the cable TV people
use.

The blue stuff is easy to get hold of, so is the green, if there is
some laying at the end of your street, but its not always the case.
