Best cable for running past high voltage wires?

Archived from groups: alt.satellite.tv (More info?)

I'm going to be running about 125-150 feet of cable, and it's going to
be going past some high voltage lines used to operate a couple of
lathe's and mills. Are there any particular brands or types (quad
shielded?) that I should get.

(Some background details below if anyone is interested).

I recently had a DirecTV installed with several receivers -- the house
was already wired in a standard star-configuration (into the family
room, out to the various points) with RG 59/U.

Except...in one room I'd bought a 500 foot roll of RG 6 from Home Depot
and ran it. Well, all of the RG 59/U is working like a charm, but I had
a problem with the RG 6. I think I may have had a bad roll, because
I've had to replace two large sections in order to get it to work (and
no, it wasn't hit with a staple).

Anyway, I patched it with a 50 foot length of RG 6, and a couple of 12
foot lengths of RG 59, and it's working, but I want a more
"professional" type installation -- at most one connection from where I
start to the room where the cable ends, all tucked away nice and neat.
My only problem is what kind of cable to use.

DirecTV. But it was my wire (I bought it a year or so before getting
the satellite), and I doubt if they'll provide a replacement. So, what
kind of RG 6 cable should I get?

Well, yes, I'm doing something a bit out of the ordinary -- otherwise I
wouldn't have the high voltage lines, but to the best of my knowledge,
it's not illegal. There's a 3 phase generator there as well.
