Agreed on the Shielded Cat5....
While I am a big fan of UBNT radios, I am not sure about the ToughCable
from them...
so far they have had a lot of quality control issues.
There are plenty of other cable mfg who have been making quality outdoor
shielded cables
one of such favorite of ours is from Shireen (www.shireeninc.com)
As for connectors... I am a big fan of EZ Rj45 (Platinum tools)
Connectors and crimper.. (even though they are a bit on the expensive side.)
Doing a bit of googling you can buy the sheilded connectors for roughly
$1 each.

That "Shielded Cat5 thing" will save you a lot of power supplies. :)

Hi Chris,
Radios enclosed in total plastic cases , don't need to be 'grounded'.
Having said that.. you should consider grounding the Mast that it
is mounted on.
And additionally, you should consider using Ethernet cable that
has a drain wire, shielded cable, shielded connectors , and make
sure that the powersupply (POE) you are using is grounded.
Regards.

Hi all,
I've never used an Omnitik before for roof work. We're trying
out the Omnitik + SXT combo in a location for roof to roof shots.
I've figured out the grounding point for the SXT, however I can't
seem to find a corresponding manual with that information for
the Omnitik. Is it possible to ground the Omnitik locally or do
we have to do the shielded cat5 thing. I'm also used to doing
lightning suppression
between the antenna and the AP, obviously this isn't possible
with an integrated antenna setup. Any additional pointers about
lighting suppression on these things??
Thanks,
Chris Stradtman
