Kenny, a great question that I forgot to make clear. There is already conduit between all the buildings. I confirmed tonight that it's got sufficient capacity to run an extra CAT5. I think we only have to fish a ~150ft run between the middle building and the bunker, as there are spare CAT5s in the conduit between the middle building and north building, so that should just be plug-n-play. The trenching to the bunker was done earlier this year as a response to the awful power outages we suffered this winter. The north building is now tied into generator control (and possibly power?) of the bunker.
Does the conduit already carry a conductor? I would avoid installing anything but fiber between buildings to simplify grounding/isolation. Tom
