Nate,  Yeah, I remember the day... We are still on a tower from 10yrs ago and had crazy issues. What finally fixed it is the Superior Essex cable with rigid copper jacket. Anything else that doesnt meet those specs with rigid shield is going to have issues. The Belden has only a single jacket

Sorry for digging up the old thread, hopefully it will help someone in the future looking through the archives We put on a Far-Rite #2643626002 https://www.fair-rite.com/product/round-cable-emi-suppression-cores-2643626002/ core on every Ethernet cable.  Just looped the Belden 7919a cable,

We are co-lo'd with a 5K transmitter and similar run but we finally went with Superior essex rigid copper shield cable and used the faraday method of grounding. It was easy since the pmp450i came along we just had to make sure the rj45 was just long enough to connect with the metal grommet have

We had a similar problem several years ago. We were getting a beat frequency between two high power transmitters. The thing that fixed it for us was the snap-on torroids at each end. Depending on power levels, you might want the conduit as well. It helps to know what frequency you need to
