On a (slightly) different tack: what do you think about running video (cctv/catv/broadcast) over cat5e and using baluns? Never had to do this, is this a viable thing to offer a customer?
No. It could never be as good as using the proper coax. In a pinch where you couldn't run a new cable and you only had UTP give it a try. But it's definately not something I would use in an original installation.
Keep in mind though that there are network CCTV cameras that are made to work with CAT5. There are also converters (not baluns) that will put HDMI on two runs of CAT5e and is supposed to work very well to overcome the short distance limitation of HDMI.
