Yeah, that too.  Some folks could not make it work without the liquidtight.

Put all Ethernet cables inside shielded liquidtight flex conduit.  You can buy 
it st an electrical supply shop.

Be sure to run the conduit to a metal box at the top and then breakout to each 
ap in smaller shielded conduit.

  I have a site where we have been co-locating with a 800w FM Transmitter 
  for years.  We've always had Ethernet problems at the site since the FM 
  went in.  Everything is shielded cat5 (Belden 7919).  It is at a grain 
  elevator, our equipment is on one corner of the platform, and the FM 
  Transmitter is on the other corner.  We are horizontally separated by 
  about 10 feet.  There is no way to get vertical separation.  I used to 
  run all the cables down to the bottom of the leg, about 100'.  In an 
  effort to make the Ethernet work better, I installed an Edgepoint fed 
  with Fiber at the top, so cable lengths between the radios and the 
  Edgepoint are now 5'-10'. With the FM Transmitter turned off, everything 
  runs perfectly.  When the FM is turned on, most equipment drops to 
  100mb, and some goes down to 10mb.  On the most problematic equipment, I 
  have installed the 4 pair FM Filters from Sandman  
  http://www.sandman.com/rf.html within 12" of both the switch and the 
  radio.  It made no change.

  What FM Elimination tricks have I forgotten to try?  I was really 
  expecting the short cable lengths to solve the problem.
