I am running a Cat 5 cable close to a 6mm SWA cable over a 15M run.

Is it worth using shielded Cat 5?

It's supplying a garden studio so there will be the occasional electric fire / kettle kicking in and out.

Why would you bother when it is now possible to run WiFi at that range
and have decent throughput with no risk of lightning damage to kit?

Mains and signal cables inside the same trunking is asking for trouble.
