I did run on the other leg opsite of the transmistion line. We are above the FM radio antenna so our CAT5 run passes the back side of at 25,000 watt transmitter.
Why the 110v in that conduit? On 5/22/07, Dennis Burgess <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
We are located at 400 foot on a FM tower, 100,000 watts at the top of 1400 foot. The total length of CAT 5 is 440 foot or so, and plug directly into a RB532 at the top of the tower (power at the top as well) We ran a felexable conduit up the tower, inside, 16awg solid copper, one black, one white, (for the 110), NO GROUND, and also in that same conduit, we ran good outdoor, sheilded CAT5, UV Resistant (even though it is fully enclosed), and we get a 100meg link without issues for the most part! One thing we did do, is ensure that we were on the other side of all the transmission lines running up the tower.
