Has anyone here expanded internet connectivity to their garden with an ethernet cable? I am speaking about non-wireless communications. To some hut some 100 meters away? What are your experiences with it? Is it as simple as digging a cable trench, putting the cable in (maybe with some pipe to protect it) and covering it?
Are fibre optics a viable long-range alternative to copper ethernet cables for local area networks?
100m is the maximim distance one can run RJ45 cable. Get some good weatherproof cable, dig a trench and put it in pipe, and you should be good.
