A:AnswerI am using mine outdoors. I don't know if it is actually rated for outdoor use. If the cable fails due to sunlight I will simply replace it with another cheap cable.

A:AnswerHi TJFI1000
I looked at the side of my cable, and the only marking every 8 inches is "CAT 6 Network Cable". No help there. I know what you are looking for is the marking along the side that tells the manufacturer, the ratings, and an linear footage at "that" point on the cable, I'm in IT too. I checked the side of this cable for about 9 feet, and I didn't see anything other than that "CAT 6 Network Cable" label. So I can't say "it is fire resistant and suitable for in wall use".
It works great though. I'm using all 100 ft of mine (didn't cut it to shorten it to terminate to a wall jack) and I'm having no issues with my cable. My home was built about the time "affordable WiFi" came out, so it also has conduit to assist getting cable to locations in the home. I'm "old school" and like cable for connections when I want to avoid encryption if it isn't needed, like streaming video applications.
A:AnswerJust a big heads up if your using a router you shouldn't have the need for a splitter as you have more than one port to connect other computers to the same network
