I need to create a 50' run of data cable from my remote sump to my display and, unfortunately, my only option is to snake it through one of my drain lines and out the overflow box.
I'm looking for some guidance about the type of CAT5 cable that would be appropriate for this.
Searching around the Internet I find mixed opinions, but I don't have the background knowledge to sort out which recommendations are truly necessary and which are "ideal."
Some claim that a direct burial ethernet cable will be sufficient to stand up to potential corrosion from the saltwater and can handle any water ingress. However, others recommend a more stout option that includes gel-filled cables. And some suggest a specialized solution (e.g. Belden Waterdog cables).
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
