See I wasn't sure of the physics on it. But what you are saying makes more sense than that crap I was saying. Thanks

If at all possible, try to cross electrical cables, and signal cables (including UTP) at right angles. The magnetic lines of flux induce more signal noise on parallel conductors than it does perpendicular conductors. Now, a CAT 5/6 cable running on top of fluorescent fixtures... all bets are probably off. The wiring and ballasts inside those could be oriented all over the map. -sc > -----Original Message----- > From: David W.
