Greetings:
I am connecting two buildings in the campus and need to bury power, fiber (62.5/125 multi-mode 6 strands), cat5e 3 cables for video, cat3 25pair bundle for voice in a single trench.
All cables are rated for direct burial.
My questions are
(1) How far away should I keep the electric from the rest of low voltage ? And how best to do it. Are there spacers available that I could use ?
(2) How to mitigate ground loop. Should I ask the electrician to connect the ground rods of both buildings to a common ground rod approximately in the middle at about 500feet away from each building.
(3) cat5e is for video application and cat3 is for voice. Should those be grounded or surge protected ?
I did read the FAQ posted at the top of the forum before asking this question
