We are actually plugging into what they are calling a 'GID' Ground
Interupter Device.
btw: Several of the buildings here have HUGE bundles of coax between
them.. all underground (like this will be)... no real problems (yet).
Our wireless rack equipment rack (up on the third floor) is fed on
isolated (floating) power, and has it's own VERY heavy grounding system..
I've watched lighting balls crawl the rack.. and everything kept working.
Found Belden quad-shield outdoor (but not direct burial) RG-6 for
$110/1000ft..
