Would this not increase the chances of a strike to a single AP jumping at the block to the other pairs?

Run the 25pr to a NEMA4 Hammond enclosure or equivalent and breakout the cable into a patch panel or punch down block. From there then run individual outdoor armored CAT5 to your equipment. Attached is a picture of an example from 2004 or 2005 of what I'm talking about. Since this installation we've gone to a 12 port RJ45 vertical panel rather than the punch down block. Bottom side of the run is simply punched down into a patch panel. This picture unfortunately shows an incorrect 25pr color code. For the correct color code look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/25-pair_color_code Best, Brad -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Adam Goodman Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 11:29 AM To: WISPA General List Subject: [WISPA] Easy Ethernet up the tower Hi guys, I am thinking of installing Ethernet junction boxes on my towers (top and bottom). The idea is to install a larger number of runs up the tower and run shorter runs from the box to the radios. The same at the bottom from the patch panel to the equipment/arrestors etc. Is anyone doing this? What kink of (water proof) boxes do you use and do you use a multiple CAT5 cables or do you run 48 or 96 pair? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ---- WISPA Wants You!
