We've had problems with the RF screwing up ethernet, but if the there was any interference the other direction, nobody ever told us about it. Ferrite beads on everything mostly fixed that... on that site, we had everything up top, with only DC going running down to the ground. Last fall we moved the routers into a metal box (the old one was fiberglass). Somebody here recommended terminating the shielded cat5's as close as possible to where they enter the box, and running unshielded patch cables from there, so I mounted a PRM24 full of MTC surge suppressors at the very bottom. I don't think we've had any problems since doing that.
