Network security in garage

thanks for the advice guys.. you know on the internet you read and think too much. Most stuff I read people are saying that you should never run copper between buildings. It is only about a 30 foot run, buried about 12 inches underground in pvc conduit. I am not too worried about it, just wanted to check with the pros :) The garage is powered by a run from the house and can't remember the last time we had lightning.
Vancouver is crazy, our brand new 1/2 duplex is worth over $1 mil. :)

That means there will be a heavy ground wire between the house and garage, which will limit any voltage differential between them. As I mentioned, there's no electrical connection over Ethernet cables.

Get power as close to the device as possible. Run it from the garage. Get a POE injector if you don’t want to buy a POE switch.
Also, to those internet folks who tell you not to run copper between buildings, how do you get power? Copper is unavoidable

This is old school info that won't die.. Do you have elect in the garage now? If so how do you think it got there - freaking copper ;)

Only high class burglars can afford to live in Vancouver.
Ha. It probably does mean you have a higher class of bored teenager which is a far more legitimate threat!
