<p>I wasn't really clear with my question before but basically,
would it be cheaper to just get metallic conduit for electrical
(liquid tight) at the hardware store and run your own multiple
pairs of shielded cat5e inside of it? It seems rather expensive
for just one premade cable but would pulling multiple ethernet
runs together in the same conduit lead to crosstalk or other
issues? I think it would at least make tower installs more durable
and neater than just securing the cable on the legs bare (bird
damage?). Also liquid tight already has standard grounding
connectors you can get anywhere. <br>
