Not best practice, but how many of our cable installations actually are installed according to best practice? I've had to get on cabling cntractors for laying cable directly on top of a 277v fluorescent fixture... *sigh* (I got a new cabling contractor!)
I've never tried what you're being asked to do, but here are my thoughts... As for your specific situation, it may work just fine. Ideally you'd want to have them separated by at least several inches, if possible. I'd probably specify shielded Cat6, outdoor rated cable to be on the safe side. Also, there may be a specific cable type for suspended cable runs. Finally, I'd consider lightning protection on both ends once inside the building, in order to protect your equipment. Jonathan L.

Way out of my league. Anyone see any noise issues with these tied together? Anything else I’m missing? thanks This e-mail contains the thoughts and opinions of the sender and does not represent official Parkview Medical Center policy.
