Re: ballasts & long conduit runs

Not into Cat5, but I have seen interference radiated from
some Cat3 running 100baseTX on NTSC TV channels [snow lines].

As for the OP, I doubt ballasts will cause the slightest
trouble. At least half of all Cat5 ever made is run in plenum
areas infested by ballasts. 60 Hz won't do anything.
