RE: [WISPA] CPE...Cat5...grounding
I don't think the drain wire would be big enough to ground the mount. We ground the drain wire to the lug in the Canopy 300ss.

It would be great to have an outdoor rated Cat5 cable with an attached 10awg. A reasonable price IMO for a 1000' spool would be $200 - $250. Keep us posted if you run across any. The smallest ground I would be comfortable using is 12awg and we'll want to sure it is braided so the cable is not stiff. While on this subject, is a 4' long 3/8 diameter copper ground rod sufficient for a CPE installation? SkyWalker sells these for less than a buck each in 100 qty. and they include a ground clamp to attach the wire. I'm thinking about buying a 100 of them. They also have a decent price on their 10 awg ground wire, 500' spool for $59 but I don't know if it is solid or braided. Sincerely, Shannon D. Denniston, Co-Founder KyWiFi, LLC - Mt.

Re: [WISPA] Look who turned up in my news this morning.
Gee, you'd think they could find better speakers wouldn't ya! grin It'll sure be great to see Rick again. I'm really looking forward to this event. It's NOT isp focused. It's technology focused. Sounds to me like it'll mostly be muni's there. If there are any wisps in the area you should try to get to this. Might be some great contacts there for you.

Re: [WISPA] CPE...Cat5...grounding
Blair,Where can I get this outdoor, shielded, flooded, cat5 with drain wire for about $80? That is about what I'm paying now for simple outdoor rated cat5.Thanks, Blair Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, I use a outdoor, shielded, flooded, cat5 with drain wire.About $80 or so per 1000ft. The drain wire is awg 24 or so, but, it serves the purpose of bleeding off the static charge and protecting the ethernet port on the radio and the computer/router. I have had no ethernet port damage on CPE's or towers that I have used this on and I am retro-fitting my existing towers with it.I ground it to the home electrical system at the power injector when used with a CPE.It is not very pretty, but it works.Brian Rohrbacher wrote: Ok, I am searching for cat5 with ground wire attached.

Hi Matt - I am definitely interested in why. We are tipping our toes
into the Tranzeo pond, and Airaya was a possibility.
I'm (negatively) impressed with the pics, of course.
Thanks,

Hey Folks,
Last month I posted to the list asking about low cost 5Ghz bridges
and a few folks responded that I should check out Airaya. I decided
to give them a try based on some really excellent discounts from one
of our vendors. In short, I hate them J If you?re interested in
why, feel free to hit me off list..
We bought two complete links and before installing the first one I
cracked it open and took a picture of its high tech innards to share
with this list. I hope this helps those looking at sub $3k PTP
bridges.

*Subject:* Solectek Skyway 7000
I have never used the Solectek equipment and am looking at either
trying their Skyway 7101 or the Trango Atlas for some short building
to building links. I have seen enough favorable posts about the
Atlas to know plenty of you are using it successfully ? although I
sure wish I could get one of their sales folks to return a phone
call. Leave a message about buying 250 CPEs and no one calls
back Anyway J
I would like to get opinions on the Skyway 7000. This would be for
very short .5 mile links between buildings. We would normally use
Terabeam/Proxim systems but are looking for alternatives with
similar capabilities and 20-40% lower cost. Any info/opinions on
reliability and real world throughput would be great.
Thanks,
Matt
