I would not do 400¹ of cat-5 for data purposes. It will probably link at 10 meg for management purposes but don¹t expect to pass traffic over it (other than winbox, ssh, or other small management stuff). -- Justin Wilson <j...@mtin.net> http://www.mtin.net/blog Wisp Consulting Tower Climbing Network Support

Another option would be bias T's and Ethernet over Coax converters. Then just run a piece of LMR400 or even RG6 up the tower and you are ready to go. Use siamese (dual) RG6 and run power on one and Ethernet over coax on the other. Pretty straight forward. EoC converters are cheap. -B- Jason Hensley wrote: > Considering close to 400' total length.
