Here is the Commscope Cat 5e outdoor flooded that comes in only black : http://websvr.commscope.com/CommSco...066976693852569810059cbe4/$FILE/5EF4.pdf

I tried looking for a Cat 3 because after all it is just for frigging POTS lines but came up empty handed for information with Commscope but Superior Essex has something that looks like it will do the job: http://www.superioressex.com/products/osp/spec-sheet/universal.pdf

Both of these cables are rated for exposure to sunlight and have jackets that help block out moisture.
So after all of this it looks like there is more to just stapling it and making it look neat and there are concerns with mother nature and there is specific cable addressing these issues with running to the outdoor demarc.
