I've had 110 feet of this Cat6 direct burial cable working fine for 7 years now. It has shielded plugs on both ends. I also ran a second backup line in case anything happened to the first one; the cable is relatively cheap vs my time. There is a parallel 14/2 Low Voltage Landscape Wire supplying 12v. Both were sunk 8" into a lawn using a chainsaw to dig the trenches, which worked surprisingly well, although I did have to buy a new chain and bar afterwards ;-) All cables were laid very loosely to allow for ground movement. The remote end has an 8-port PoE switch for cameras. The 12v also powers YoLink relays and contact sensors, and an IR beam sensor. I recommend YoLink LoRa devices instead of WiFi/Zigbee/ZWave due to their 1/4 mile range. Good luck and have fun!
