[HamWAN PSDR] 1/2" Outdoor UV Protected CAT 5e

[kd2iua.ham]

I wasn't really clear with my question before but basically, would it be 
cheaper to just get metallic conduit for electrical (liquid tight) at 
the hardware store and run your own multiple pairs of shielded cat5e 
inside of it? It seems rather expensive for just one premade cable but 
would pulling multiple ethernet runs together in the same conduit lead 
to crosstalk or other issues? I think it would at least make tower 
installs more durable and neater than just securing the cable on the 
legs bare (bird damage?). Also liquid tight already has standard 
grounding connectors you can get anywhere.
