Mike, my research shows that you need the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC, ANSI/IEEE C-2), Section 23. It provides specs regarding aerial construction to and between buildings. Generally, NESC covers requirements for the safeguarding of the persons from the hazards arising from the installation and operation of outside plant overhead and underground. A basic requirement is separation from power conductors. For example, BICSI TDDM states that the required separation from power conductors at building attachments is 11 cm (4 in.) horizontally and 31 cm (12 in.) vertically. Additionally, you have to have the required clearance from vertical roof conductors (antennas etc.) of 1.9 m (6 ft.) horizontally. Also, be sure that you place *outside* Cat5 cable into the duct. One example is Lucent's Cat5 OSP 4-pair UTP cable. For ultimate answer, contact your local agency responsible for issuing building permits.
