[quote=Anonymous]Don't do buried ethernet cable. If you get a lightning strike, all of your equipment will be fried in short order. There are also some possible grounding issues with this approach. The safe way to do this is with direct burial fiber, with copper-to-fiber media converters on each side. With the direct-burial cable, you don't need conduit, but you should do two cable runs in case anything happens to one of them. It's not that expensive in the lengths that you are discussing. Get cable with pre-terminated ends, since fiber termination requires special equipment and skills. Unlike cat. 5e/6/6a, you can legally run fiber in the same conduit as power cables, since the fiber isn't actually conductive. That might make things easier if you already have installed conduit.[/quote]
