<p>Is there a cat5e cable that includes a thick enough grounding
conductor to handle faults? I've had to run thick ground wire next
to it because lightning keeps jumping up between grounding points
running up the side of hills and burning out the thin shields and
I was thinking a thick coaxial-shield/armored direct burial cat5e
cable (although expensive) would make thing easier vs running
cable and grounds separately in conduit. <br>
</p>
<p>Just a thought,</p>

it’s outdoor rated, but not so much tower use. In some cases
that I may go, I will be collocated with public safety
equipment and I know that the cable they will require must
be tower rated cable. I like this stuff, even at it’s price,
since it can be grounded just like coax at the required
points of contact using standard grounding kits provided by
Times or Belden. I get it’s pricy, but I’d rather be safe
than sorry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
