I have run up to 600 volts on CAT 5.

Maybe. My bigger problem is how to get 24 volts/whatever-that-can-be-regulated-down-to-24v to the other end of a 800 foot wire run without too much voltage drop/heat so I could power <whatever-to-power-fiber-things+20watts> for a micropop without wire the size of my thumb.

I guess I could run a transformer to up-convert from 110VAC to <something> and then another one on the other end to run smaller wire, but I don’t know if that’s practical vs just buying something off the shelf. Wondering if someone’s already solved the problem and can recommend what they did, besides google and guess.
