Prosistel recommends Cat7E for the motor conductors?  Cat7E uses 23 or 22
awg copper wires.  I am not familiar with Prosistel rotators and I don't
know the motor's voltage or amperage.  22awg wire has 1.6 ohms resistance
per 100 feet so the voltage drop at the motor could be significant.

Not fun to prepare (just ask my son N3TTT) especially if using the Prosistel
recommended Cat 7e cable -- with extra wires doubled up for the motor leads.
