I have a couple of those Gigabit enthernet USB hubs I'm thinking of using in conjunction with the scopes/guidecams and imaging cams - hence the interest in ethernet cabling.

I run 40Amps 240v ac power in a separate conduit covered with 6" blue metal gravel then another conduit with 2runs cat 5E on top both in the same trench. Run is 50mt from obs (8 port powered switch) to garage,(4 port powered hub) then another 20mt back to the house (wireless router /sat connection). There is NO cross talk what so ever.
Nice to have Internet in the Rural Obs
