Mark,
You did not mention what system you are using or cable type. However, if
the CAT5 has a braided shield or a drain wire you can use a kit from
Andrew that would be applied much in the same fashion as a coax ground
kit. Depending on the length of your runs you may wish to ground the
middle of the run as well. Typically you want to apply a ground kit at
the top, within six feet of termination, middle, bottom and entrance to
the cabinet or shelter. Grounds ahead of any 90 degree bend is also
commonplace.
Do a search on Andrew GK-SUNV.

Subject: [WISPA] Cat5/PoE grounding on tower
We're installing our equipment on a new tower that is very nice & clean.
There are several providers in the building, and installation is
professional. All coax is installed using the proper waveguide
brackets, standoffs, etc.
All coaxes are grounded before & after they enter the building. The
problem is that I want to use PoE instead of coax up the tower. I'm
looking for a recommendation on what products and/or techniques to use
to accomplish this... There will be an outdoor box on the walking
platform where we will install our equipment, and about 6 cat5's going
up the tower to that box, then into the building at the base.
