I would strongly reccomend you use a switch
with a fiber uplink port and run a separate, Polyphaser or equivalent DC
protected cable up to supply power to the switch and the three APs.
SmartBridges has a new PoE injector designed to insert 48V, I would probably
use 48V DC up the tower to power the switch and three POE injectors.

PS....this is going to last a lot longer than
multiple long runs of cat5, shielded or not.

I have a tower going up, with three API on
it. Is it better to run three 200 foot runs of Cat5 with the
standard power injector from SB up the tower, or is it better to run
a POE modified 12volt switch up to the top and then split the
power?
Also assuming 200 foot of cable, do you think
we will need 18volt at the bottom of each 200 foot cable run, or the same
with a single 200 foot cable run.
