[Shop-talk] direct burial Cat 5

Dave asks about direct burial Cat 5


I had three separate runs of direct burial and the problem I kept having 
was lighting killing my equipment on one or both ends.

They make special lighting arresters for this purpose, but it was easier 
for me to use wireless to the remote buildings then spend the money on 
them.

I have plenty of direct bury cat 5 cable left, if you are in the NJ area.

YMMV
