I need to get some cat 5 from building A to Building B. Building A has My network. I was thinking of aerial cable. I only need to get lets say one cat 5 over to the other building to continue my network. What kind of system would I need for this. The span from building 2 building is like 30 feet. But I don't know what to use to hold the cable or if there is a system out there.
Thx please inform
thx Ken

You would want a self supporting CAT5, but that's just the start. You sure wouldn't want something in the air without proper grounding and protection. You can use outside plant protectors between the buildings, but I'd also use a secondary low voltage protection for your data networking equipment. This is not going to be cheap, but neither is replacing your computers and data network equipment every time it storms.

Ive seen wireless taken out by lighting strikes as well.
This is a tough one and you do stand a chance of lighting strikes.
CG told customer if he went wireless would not get hit. Well a ground loop from power supply proved him wrong.
Try not to get involved with issue such as these as the cusomer is gonna due it no matter what you say.

for the reasons bill mentioned . Being an old OSP guy I always think of copper first. You are correct fiber is a lot less prone to this problem. I've heard it said fiber is immune to lightning, but since I've seen so many things happen with lightning strikes I'd like to leave a little room for error.

fiber is glass , glass dosnt conduct electric so no surge problems no need for protection.
as a bonus by using a couple of switchs and media converters you extend the 100 meter coper limitation ,

do a google search for aerial cat 5e , heres one https://www.computercablestore.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=61 normal cooper you would use these drop wire clamps https://www.gmptools.com/nf/index_aerialtools.htm I dont think why would work well for cat 5 e as they would change the oriantion of the strands that define it as cat 5 dont forget your primary and secondasy protectors :rolleyes:
