Its ideal for long or short runs and is UV resistant thanks to its PE sheath; this ensures it wont erode over time like standard networking cables.

Instead, the cables should run perpendicular to the power lines as much as possible, which as you might expect requires some planning. Lightning will light you and your cable up, and there is no way around that other than also inserting lightning surge protections into the cable run.
