Is this outdoor rated cable ok to run in walls as well?

Newbie question here - looking to run cat 6 cable for IP camera system. Planning to run cables through interior walls and then through exterior wall to camera. Was planning to use outdoor rated as opposed to conduit. Does outdoor rated cable also meet "in wall" rating requirements?

This is the cable I was looking at:
1000FT Cat 6 Bulk Bare Copper Ethernet Network Cable UTP, Solid, Plenum Jacket (CMP), 550MHz, 23AWG

It is CM rated. OK for in wall, but not commercial building risers nor plenums. I would look for at least CMR rating (riser) or even better plenum rated cable. Might be easier to find in CAT5E than CAT6

CM rated so it okay for in wall use.

• CL/CM/CMG: These cable jackets are suitable for use in all ordinary situations, with CL cables used for audio/visual applications and CM/CMG used for communications applications like Ethernet. They’ve passed what’s called a “vertical tray flame test,” meaning they don’t ordinarily spread flames more than eight feet. You can install these rated-cables in the wall or ceiling, and don’t have to worry about things like risers and plenums in home use.
