[quote C(-)ris]Cat 5 or 6 will work. You definitly don't want to just string it and set it out. As previously sugested, you want to run the cable in PVC conduit. Also, get plenum rated cable. It has more shielding in the jacket.
What you need is outside plant cable (OSP), which is Cat 5/6 cable rated for outdoor use. You definitely want to install the cable into some type of protective conduit; check local electrical code regarding requirements to this end.
