Clarification:
The Fronius monitoring (as described in my last post re: aerial wire
run) uses RS45 protocol which is CAT-5 compliant.

Folks,
I am designing & will be building a system with a 100 foot aerial wire
run crossing a creek. I have a question about CAT-5 cable and electric
conductors. At my crossing there is a total of (5) current-carrying
conductors, (2) ground wires and (2) CAT-5 cables for the Fronius
monitoring systems. [(3) #2 conductors & ground will service a 3 phase
meter, and (2) #2 conductors & ground will service a single-phase
meter]. 

-What is the max distance that CAT-5 wire can run?

-Is there an outdoor-rated version of CAT-5 wire, or at least a
shielded, sunlight-resistant sheathing I could place my CAT-5 in for the
aerial crossing? (before & after-which I will place in its own conduit).

-If there is no such shielded sheathing, would it be safe to run the
CAT-5 around the conductors along the aerial crossing? 

Thanks, 
Brian Lamoreaux
