Duct Grade Cable In Conduit

Now I am getting some informed answers to other topics I have another! Cabling a dome camera on a canopy using Cat5. The run is all internal until it exits the building. It is then contained on the canopy ceiling in 20mm solid plastic tubing straight into the pendant mount. Anybody see any need to use duct grade Cat5??

If as you say its in conduit from exiting the building to entering the equipment then no need for duct grade. Duct grade is basically damp proof.

On two occasions I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Nope, provided the conduit doesn't sag, and the cable is kept as dry as possible...ie its not going to be permanently sat in water.

(wont hurt to put drip holes at the lowest points)

Thanks for the answers. There shouldn't be any low points if the canopy is level! Plus there will be plenty of saddles. Thanks again.
