external cat 6 cable

[Pugsport]

i just wanted to ask if any of you people would know or have any advice on if would get away with using this CAT 6 cable under ground.

the reason is im looking to build a workshop in my back garden and would like to be able to use the internet in there for sketchup and also ordering parts etc. i know i could use the computer inside the house but i know that if i end up going inside to do it ill waste a fair amount of time doing other things so this seems like the better idea.

i was thinking of running it in some plastic conduit for a bit of added protection and this should also give me the option at a later date to pull one or two more cables in if needed. im also not sure how much the electrical cable would have an effect on the performance of the CAT cable as i really only want to dig one trench for all the supplies

any thoughts or advice would be great

You can buy shielded outdoor cable. I have a roll at work, it's a bitch putting the ends on.

You can run it through a sealed conduit made for direct burial or you can buy a cable that is rated for direct burial. If it is running under an actual garden, I'd bury it at least 2 feet deep and put it in a tough metal lined conduit so you don't later cut it with a shovel planting.

Would powerline adapters work in your instance?

They would be a lot easier to install and use, and probably cheaper too, just plug n play , especially if you already got power running out there.
