Sorry to hijack this thread - I have a question!
I've got a bit of CAT5e running from a faceplate on the study wall; up the inside of the palsterboard; into the loft and then out through the eves of the roof, down the side of the house and into a hole in the wall, into the lounge and terminated with an RJ45.
I assume this is also susceptible to lightning and the such. I suppose it would be a good idea to remove the patch from the patch point and the RJ45 from the switch during a storm?!
