Indoor outdoor cabling is like many other terms in the wire-cable-industry. Definition depends on specifics of the subject in question. In general, “indoor” implies that the cable has at minimum an NEC Fire Resistance Rating so that the cable is not subject to the typical 50-foot indoor length limitation that applies to outside plant (OSP) cables. “Outdoor” generally implies that the construction of the cable is such that it will withstand certain environmental extremes typically only experienced outdoors. Beyond that, the specifics of the design must be examined to determine the suitability of any cable for an application requiring indoor/ outdoor performance.

Copper Cabling

When referencing copper cables for data, video or voice, indoor outdoor is a special designation of cable intended for limited indoor outdoor use. This cable was designed for the purpose of connecting the Network Interface Device (NID) located on the outside of a building or residence to the inside services, which may be a small telecommunications closet or simply a wall outlet. This cable typically has a minimum NEC Fire Resistance Rating of CMX plus an additional UL rating of “Outdoor”. Other fire resistance ratings are available as applications warrant. The materials used in Indoor Outdoor cables provide better low temperature properties and UV protection than their strictly indoor counterparts. Indoor outdoor cable is not intended for typical outdoor applications for which OSP cables are designed.
