Armored cable?

Several C4,C7,C8.
Often on the latest release.
DLink repeater has been incredibly reliable.
Multiple hot spots to network switch with the hubitats on it.
Now cable wifi to wifi dlink to switch is getting "iffy".

I would like to drop under house, over about 30' and up to the switch.
Eliminate a now problematic wireless connection.
Physical access is doable, i do not want to have to do the crawl space crawl more than once in my lifetime.

Hoping for a wet, damp, florida cable than can take it.
Hot florida cable!

You’re referring to Ethernet cable right?

They make outdoor rated CAT whatever cables. I think currently you want to use at least CAT6, just look for something outdoor rated and it should hold up. I ran one around 50ft on the outside of someone's house under the siding around 2 years ago, has been holding up fine.

Ooooo
That is what i am looking for!
And sorry for not specifically mentioning it was ethernet cable...

For maximum durability, I would look for direct burial cable. Outdoor rated is mostly for UV rating.
