Anyone know if this RG6 cable is good for an outside run?

Need to do a DirecTV cable-run to my loft where my wife and I have joined offices. This is a great price for 100' of cable but don't know if it is durable enough for running outside along the house.

of course. Look at your cable box on the side of your house. It's full of coax.

Well, I know that. There's just some coax that I wouldn't put outside. I'm just double-checking before I make the purchase.

There's cable made specifically for outdoor use (sun, environment, etc). That does not look like outdoor cabling.

Also make sure you have good grounding for all your coax to a central location (normally outside where the cable enters the buildling).

Yeah, I'm thinking this may be better.
