RE: Outside, think Lighting strike

You can buy 'direct burial" CAT 5 cable and not use a PVC conduit. But neither will do much to help mitigate lightning and voltage surge issues. Metal conduit and suppressors at each end will work better.

I like Tony's idea best. Using (relatively) inexpensive media converters at each end of an optical link.

....Or, a Wifi repeater and directional antenna.
