The spec for CAT5 is 100 meters which is around 330ft. Someone mentioned
seeing greater distances, and I have too, but I have also seen shorter runs
that were noting but trouble. It's all in the installation.

If the run is going to be outside, I'd go fiber optic. Copper will atract
electricity - all sorts, none of it good, the worst being lighting. I'd
also run the line in a watertight conduit. Insulation will break down
eventually; the conduit will make it last that much longer.

Just my $0.02.
