Cat 6 is what is needed in shielding area. Look it up - it is upgraded.
I added the plenum spec to have a hard wire wrapped and a hard shield
over it. That allows pulling it without snagging it on connectors and
tearing the impedance out of the wire :-)

I want to run a hard line Cat 5 out to my shop. It will be inside PVC.
What is the limits of length of Cat 5 before you start running into
problems? I'd estimate it at 150' run.

The only time I've had a problem with CAT 5 at this length is across our
shop where we're running 2 4kilowatt and one kilowatt LASERs. Lots of
RFI, so I used shielded cable.
