Umm...why were you doing this? I can understand it
for testing and as
a crude but expensive bandwidth limiter.
I do not know, but it seemed like such a waste. Just now are the things
being taken out and replaced with 10baseT.
No, I was thinking about differences in ground
potential between the
two buildings, static electricity, lightning strikes, that sort of
thing. All the canonical reasons why you wouldn't want to pull
Ethernet coax through that conduit.
I can see for two buildings that were far away, this could be an issue,
but for my run of 50 feet, there should be no problem. The ground
potential between the two plots of land ought not to be much at all. As
for statis, one could pull a drain wire.
