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?
Also be aware that differences in ground potential can be an issue: https://www.truecable.com/blogs/cable-academy/how-to-fix-a-ground-loop
That is also something you can avoid by going with fibre optics.
