unless someone has a free shipping option I'll pass
Well after searching around this was the best deal on 2-100ft and 2-50 feet cat6 cables.
I ate the shipping for the sale prices.
On short runs maybe, but good luck getting 2.5Gb at 100ft on Cat5e
The cable will get eaten by the sun as the jacket isn't UV rated. But that'll take months or years. I've seen these standard cables last years outside with very basic shelter. Keeping the ends dry is the most important part.
The next or maybe primary concern id have is voltage from transient lighting. Depending on where you live and the surrounding conditions running 100 ft of cable on top of the ground might not attract lighting but it could get some effects if it's nearby. I mean close nearby thought as in less than a hundred or two hundred feet. Highly unlikely but depends on how important whatever it's connected to is and what your areas weather is like. Probably will never be an issue.

Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a are different types of twisted-pair copper cables used in computer networks. They differ in their speed and frequency capabilities, as well as their construction and performance.
Here are the main differences between each cable type:
Cat5: This is an older type of cable that can support speeds of up to 100Mbps and frequencies of up to 100 MHz.
Cat5e: This is an enhanced version of Cat5 cable that can support speeds of up to 1Gbps and frequencies of up to 100 MHz. Cat5e cables are backward-compatible with Cat5 cables and are the most commonly used type of cable in Ethernet networks.
Cat6: This cable can support speeds of up to 10Gbps and frequencies of up to 250 MHz. Cat6 cables have thicker copper wires and a thicker insulation than Cat5 and Cat5e cables, which makes them less susceptible to interference and crosstalk. Cat6 cables are commonly used in high-performance networks that require fast data transfer rates and low latency.
Cat6a: This is an augmented version of Cat6 cable that can support speeds of up to 10Gbps and frequencies of up to 500 MHz. Cat6a cables have even thicker copper wires and a shielding layer that provides extra protection against interference and crosstalk. Cat6a cables are commonly used in data centers and other high-speed networking applications.
Overall, Cat5 and Cat5e cables are suitable for basic networking needs where speed and performance are not critical, while Cat6 and Cat6a cables are preferred for high-performance networks that require fast data transfer rates and low latency.
Also depends on the quality / age of the cable. CAT5e has been around for a while and there's a high likelihood that folks using it have had it installed in their home for 15+ years which means the cable may have degraded since it was first installed. There's also a big difference between CCA and solid copper.
Unless you're using the cable in a manner it isn't rated for (i.e. indoor cable outside or buried) there is no issue with older wire, as long as it is 5e it can handle 2.5. If the ends are installed in an area that gets very humid or is subject to condensation, it is possible to get corrosion, usually can be cleaned off but best to replace the ends. In that case it doesn't matter what category cable you have, they would all be affected.
Besides, were talking about a brand new 100 foot patch cord, so there is no issue with any sort of degradation due to age. Now whether the company monoprice contracted with to make these is actually following CAT5e or 6 specs to the "T" is another question. But their cables generally work well.

All good points but if you're running new cable you're better off going with CAT6 or better, 5gb and 10gb fiber internet is already going live in many markets. Not that you would necessarily use pre-terminated cable since that's the deal we're having this discussion around.
But to your original point, CAT5e should be fine for point to point between a switch and an access point. Also fine for IP cameras as most don't only negotiate at 100Mbps.
