I would like to link our house and garage using cat5/6 data cable
allowing internet to be shared. The route i would like to take
requires digging a trench and the total cable distance comes to about
70m inluding going around walls etc.
External grade armoured cable seems to be obscenely expensive so would
some kind of outdoor grade cable within a conduit be acceptable?

also the garage and house are on completely different electricity
mains supplies with different meters etc. Is this a problem in terms
of linking them because they have seperate grounds?

thank you for your help
Pete


If you want to user Radio then I'd recommend 5.8 Ghz point to point
equipment's from Solwise.


Or something like http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144712

802.11a should manage 10m with ease even with the APs indoors.



If your going 5.b Ghz make sure it does the 5.7 to 5.8 part of the band
and conform to the Ofcom IR 2008 regs..
