Question : How to setup/install quality outdoor Ethernet and phone jacks

This is rather urgent.

Two questions, but basically the same topic.  If I need to split the question, I will do so.

1. Outdoor Ethernet - I have a client that wishes to have multiple Ethernet jacks available OUTSIDE an office complex.  It is a small television company that needs to connect via Ethernet/CAT5 from outside the building in order to allow them to film the wonderful people of our city, in living color -- all image data transmits through Ethernet.

2. Outdoor phone - They also need telephone jack outside too.

Basically, has anyone done this and can you make recommendations on quality products.

Answer : How to setup/install quality outdoor Ethernet and phone jacks

This is something you probably do not want to do yourself.

Do you need to trench cable, or suspend from poles? There is special cable for this. If you run an aerial, you'll have to worry about lightning arrestors.

There are issues with how cable enters and leaves the building, in terms of electrical grounding, weather, etc... Tip - never pierce the roof, always go through the side of a building.

You might consider doing this with wireless, which can solve a lot of the issues.
