[lug] Outdoor rated Cat5e STRANDED

[Quentin Hartman]

Most of the things you say you don't want in the cable are what make it
outdoor rated, so what is your application? If you're just installing
outside but not in ground contact (like on the outside of a house or
something) hitting it with some exterior spray paint will give you the UV
protection for a tiny fraction of the cost. It will also let you match the
cable to the building better and improve aesthetics. If you're doing
something else with it, the other features are probably a good idea and
would be worth the hassle of dealing with them to get a reliable
installation.
