I myself use them at our tower sites at the bottom AND the top. I had a
tower get struck, directly and lost everything...including the switch at
the location. Since then, I figured 3mil volts can go through thin
cat5e jacketing. Even through the shielding if it isn't properly
grounded. Now I
What brand and part number cable and connectors do you use for the CAT5E
cable?

I believe that solder is probably not a good idea here. Lightning can build enough heat to melt the solder and thus break the connection. I think all ground connections need to be physical connections to provide the best protection.
Otherwise, this looks like a good method.
There are

I buy a lot of patch cables and things from them because they are fairly
cheap and they are local (2 miles away). I try and promote local
business when I can.
I get the
I was just referring to the shielding by
bonding it to the cat5 crimp on ends, not soldiering them to the tower or
grounding materials. There is only a friction bond between the cat5 end
and the grounded casing of the surge arrestor. I would think the friction
bond would have more
I've used these guys for grounding the shield of a cat5 cable:
