I needed to get internet to a building that's around 400 feet away. I had the opportunity to get a trench dug, so I took a gamble, laid a conduit and ran shielded CAT6. I say gamble because that's over the rated limited of CAT cable, but I figured it was going to be easier then trying to get a reliable wiki bridge running. The home network itself has been solid since.
FYI, the shield only does something if you ground it, and you need to be very careful to only ground one end so as to not introduce a ground loop. If it wasn't grounded then regular unshielded Cat6 probably would have performed the same.
It's grounded. It's also running parallel to an underground power line, but I made sure to maximize the distance between the two as much as I could. Around 12 inches if I remember correctly. No issues that I knew how to test for at the time and it's been about ten years with no need to modify anything. Some I know I would have had to do if it was a wifi bridge by now
Going over 300 just limits you on speed after errors
I thought it was more to do with packet loss.
Packet loss is primarily a CRC thing. You might get 99% of a packet, but it fails the error check so it's dropped and re-requested.
If you have poe on the output end, there are repeaters that you could have buried along with the cable. Not a big enough signal difference in your case to be worth it probably but worth noting for other folks.
Eh, there's conduit, so they can always upgrade to fiber down the road.
