I'm toying with the idea of putting a Power over Ethernet camera at the top of 
my tower, but don't want to defeat all the grounding work that I've done and 
provide an easy path into the house via the Ethernet. Most of the 
lightning/surge gear I've seen for Ethernet looks pretty light-weight and for 
indoor use. Ideally, I'd want to provide a path to ground at the base of the 
tower, as I do for all the coaxes, as well as a lightning protector in the 
enclosure box that I have on the side of the house (filled with PolyPhasers). 
This probably is a bad idea and I won't go forward with it, but thought I would 
check to see if anyone on this list has experience doing this and if there is 
an economical solution out there. Thanks and 73, John/K9KE
