Jim,

OK that is reassuring.  I will probably run it via cat5e cable and 
install my own RJ45 connectors so it can be custom length (and 
probably cheaper).  My guess it will be better on crosstalk than 
commercially made ethernet cables.

Answer to those who question my adversion to wireless:  My guess you 
do not do ham radio on the same frequency band as wi-fi runs.  I do 
and its seems crazy to intentionally broadcast RFI on my ham 
band.   I operate up to 10-GHz.

Regarding lightning strikes, we do not even hear thunder more often 
then once every four to five years.  Earthquakes and volcano 
eruptions are more frequent.

No problem with a 50 foot run. Theoretic limit is over 300 feet, but
signals get wobbly at about 275 feet.
