Going to climb a tower? Are you crazy!

Some of our tower installation contractors have let us know about some of their favorite tower climbing YouTube videos, so I though I'd pass them on to you. I don't know how these guys do it, I'll climb a ladder to hang Christmas lights and that's as high as I'm going.












Very cool stuff, you get a great workout and a good view. Please be careful.

Cat5e Cable for Cell Tower and Outdoor Wireless Installations

As you know cell tower and outdoor wireless equipment installations can be some of the most demanding and dangerous. Contractors for these installations face many pressures from meeting a deadline, proper materials, making sure the job is done correctly and doing everything with a safety first mentality.

We can't help you with everything your going to bump into at your installation but we can help with getting you proper materials for your installation in a timely manner to help meet your deadline.

One product that comes to mind is the BBDE serise of outside plant cable by Superior Essex.


* This cable is built with a dry water blocking agent outside of the inner jacket that helps prevent  water ingress between shield in inner cable preventing damage to equipment.

* The core is fully filled with PFM Gel allowing for a no drip or flow in vertical installations, also helps fight against degraded transmission performance.

* Outside plant rated sunlight resistant black jacket will allow for years and years of reliable performance.

With these features and the reliability of a company that has been making cable since 1930 you can rest assure the quality of this cable is as good as your installation.

You can order this cable at Discount Low Voltagee

Running fiber to the top of the cell tower? Be careful.

I knew this was a dangerous job but the part that really bothered me is the lack of safety and big companies trying to keep their hands clean when someone dies.


Watch Cell Tower Deaths on PBS. See more from FRONTLINE.

Please be extra careful and rushing to meet a deadline is never worth risking your life.
