Running leaky feeder at 100W EIRP is going to cause all kinds of major issues, although induced current in nearby UTP probably isn't one of them. Technically a "radiated" signal from notches in leaky feeder is going to be at right angles to parallel cables and unable to induce a current, the risk

Mal, I think it all depends on the band to be honest but it’s most likely to be UHF 400-520MHz in which case even if if was radiating 100 Watts EIRP it’s unlikely to cause you any major issues if you’re any more than 300mm away. The impact of RF signals on data traveling through the line would

Interested in hearing from any RF gurus who have run Leaky Feeder and unshielded UTP cables, in underground tunnel environments - what cable separation distance did you use to minimise any noise from the UTP services that are run in parallel ? Regards, Mal _
