You would have to climb it with a garden sprayer strapped to your back. I am more of the opinion of the corroded RJ45.

No change. Have not wet things (would be difficult - no ready source of water) Obviously RF is getting into the Ethernet, when things are wet. I’m just trying to figure out why. Clearly a connection is being made somewhere it shouldn’t be. On Apr 20, 2019, at 09:58, Chuck McCown <[email protected]> wrote: So moisture + rf = Ethernet interference. Just as originally stated. No standing waves. Is your cat5 in liquidtight? Have you played with grounding & ungrounding the shields? How about taking a garden sprayer and selectively wetting things?

Moisture throws off impedance somewhere and you have a strong standing wave on the transmission line. Probably a bad connector.

It’s a 9kw station around 150ft. We are at 250ft with two sectors and a backhaul. Netonix switch in shelter. Nothing else on the tower. Normally all is fine. When it rains or is very moist out (heavy heavy fog) we start having major Ethernet negotiation issues. The ports will go from 1Gig to 10F sometimes. Sometimes drop completely. I’ve got ferrite beads wrapped about 5 times top and bottom. Any further words of wisdom on what to try? I suspect some odd grounding issue. But not sure how to track it down or isolate it. -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
