cat5e between two buildings.

Guys n Gals,
I have to run a cat5e cable about 80 metres between two buildings. What
should I do about wetaher proffing? Can i buy protected cable? Could I put
in a hose pipe or something? I also want to help cut down possible
interference.

We have a telephone pole about half way between the buildings, can anyone
suggest any cat5e cable that could run to it and how to attach it?

Running cable outside is not a very good idea if you ask me.
There can be alot more interferance and if there happens to be a lightening
strike nearby the current it can induce in the cable could fry the network.

Am i right?

Cable is weatherproof, to an extent.

>Can i buy protected cable?

Use UV protected cable, it's less prone to fading and deteriorating
over the years.

>Could I put in a hose pipe or something?

Could do, everything helps.

>I also want to help cut down possible interference.

Just follow the usual precautions of not running it near high voltage
cables.

A catenary wire is what I would use, and a couple of turnbuckles to
tension it. You'll want to earth the catenary and also for extra
protection use lightning\surge arrest units at each end.

As well as the phone, tv, video recorder, sky box ( not a bad thing) and
any other electronic items !!. So why single out a network ?

You're getting dangerously close to the 100 metre limit for Cat5E Ethernet.
How much more cable is required at each end, over and above the 80m between
the two buildings?

Oh yeah. Definitely. I have a site that uses this kind of arrangement,
they regularly fry motherboards.

No more direct cablke, they will be connected to a powered switch. If
someone can suggest an alternative method of getting 100mb from one building
to another where line of siht is impossible, then please let me know.

Would that be fibre optic cable then? We have a client with multiple
buildings in a heavy manufacturing industry. There is a mixture of
gigabit fibre and 100Mbps cat5e links, along with voice links. There
is no more frying of computer equipment than anything else in a storm,
most cables are terminated with surge adapters. Although the insurance
assessor (sp?) wasn't overly impressed with either. Fibre is safer but
pricey.

optical fibre?
