Yes > Do you use surge suppressors? Yes - type varies depending on equipment but if recommended by the manufacturer we use them. Some gear has it built in. > Do you use shielded cable on the towers with metal ends? Shielded cable yes. We do not use metal ends and prefer to bring the drain wire out out of the cable at the RJ45 and ground it directly. I don’t really trust the metal shell on a RJ45 to actually make good contact. > Do you put all your cable in conduit going up the tower? We try to avoid that as much as possible. Ganged in cable management grommets. It’s much easier when changes are required. > Do you use steel cable ties? Nope - hate those. If the ends are not carefully secured they are about the same as leaving razor blades all over the tower. > Do you put some kind of grease or spray on the cat5 end before you set in > place?
