Running Cat6a to outbuilding

[frbrazil]

I am having a difficult time locating Cat6a cable-direct burial. I do not need a spool of 1000ft. I need 120-140 feet. I did find some cat6a on amazon that comes in 140/165 ft but it is nylon braided and I am not sure that this would hold up underground. Does anyone have any ideas?

For gigabit you really don't need 6a, 5e would be fine. Some home centers have direct burial 5e by the foot.

Didn't mean to downvote your response. I will have several pcs out there, and learned that 6a holds its full speed at 300 feet+. For my purposes 5e would probably be fine, but I tend to be overkill.

You aren't dealing with 300+ feet according to your original post, hence my statement about 5e. The number of PCs won't matter. Your buried cable with go to a switch and then short jumpers to the PCs.
