I suppose you could stick all your equipment at the top, along with a switch in an enclosure, and you could have a backhaul radio shooting down to the shack on the ground :) Then you only have to run a large bell wire up the tower for DC power. Cheers, Roger

If your fiber does not have a metal armor/messenger in it, you can run it with the 120v. You might consult an electrician, but I'd probably run the single mode fiber and 3 conductors of thwn electrical wire into a bundle, terminate the fiber for the top end, hoist it up, chop the bottom of the

Considering close to 400' total length. I've seen all the posts and I don't think fiber is going to be an option, and 120v up the tower is definitely not - owner won't allow that. The Outreach product is interesting, and I've seen other things like it, but didn't know if they really worked that

At 400' the CAT5 would probably work fine. Another option would be bias T's and Ethernet over Coax converters. Then just run a piece of LMR400 or even RG6 up the tower and you are ready to go. Use siamese (dual) RG6 and run power on one and Ethernet over coax on the other. Pretty straight
