Outdoor ethernet

$

I need a short run of ethernet cable outside - around 3m. I've got a reel of standard indoor cat 6 solid core ethernet, and some outdoor rated conduit. Am I okay using indoor cat 6 outside in conduit, or should I really go buy some externally-rated ethernet?

Is the difference between internal and external ethernet just UV stabilisers in the external sheath, or are the internals different too (maybe tinned or greased strands?).
