Ooof, that pricing is real rough. Unless there’s a real specific circumstance, it’s pretty hard to justify a 50x+ cost increase for some ethernet cable.

All,
 
Please see attached data sheet. And I got an email with pricing:
Custom cuts are $10/ft but I can do a full 1000ft spool for $7500
 
Thanks,

Jamie,
                You happen to know the cost per foot on that.

All,
 
I’m not sure what the current cable type and product is running from tower mounted antennas to the equipment in the site shelters, but check this product out. I came across this Outdoor rated CAT5e cable designed to mount alongside coax on a tower. It grounds like ½” coax. This is exciting things that jumped out to me:
  1. Mounts to towers using common coax rubber doughnut ½” mounts
  2. Can be grounded just like coax to meet the requirements of the site owner
  3. Is Outdoor rated
  4. Is UV rated
 
If interested, please see Tyler Booth, contact card attached.
 
Thanks,
