[PLUG] outdoor cat5e/cat6 sources in town?

Anybody have pointers on where to find decent quality outdoor
(uv-rated, not burial) ethernet cabling in town?  Personal Telco needs
a new box, but needs a few hundred feet in the next few days.

The last batch (thanks Jason!) came on a spool, which was a little
troublesome to pull from, so a pull-box would be preferred.  Cat6 is
preferred, but cat5e would work too.  The UV-rating is important
though, indoor stuff rots fast in the sunshine.

I've poked around a bit.  PCHCables doesn't seem to have uv-rated
stuff, at least not readily findable on their site.

Recommendations welcome.
