Welcoem to the forum.
FP is generally not suitable for outside use, though some versions are manufactured for UV stability.
In terms of UV protection black cables are more stable so black flex is OK, but not suitable for burial.
Hi tuff or NYY-j is suitable for burial so long as you do not need and earthed covering and generally comes in black and is water resistant.
H07RNF is the one that is stipulated for outside use where there is no need to protect against mechanical damage and water resistance is required.
