I just want to note that the geeks.com cable isn't very good for cold weather conditions. I live in southern IL and if you leave this stuff out for a season of 2-4 weeks it breaks easily. It actually came down OK, but when I tried to use it again the next year, the jacket cracked like crazy. I paid only about $75 for it as well so it isn't a big deal, but I agree that it's much better to find stranded cable, particularly if it's plenum grade or has been marked for outdoor use. Yes, it's more expensive, but it pays for itself after only 1-2 years of replacing "one-time-use" cable.
