Wireless will work fine if you use good quality antennas and mount them on the outside of the buildings. &nbsp;You can go miles wireless with good equipment and line of sight.

The wireless is probably your answer. &nbsp;I'm not at all familiar with high-end exterior wireless equipment, but the Cat 5, 5e, or 6 &nbsp;is out of the question. &nbsp;

I have a pretty interesting scenario I need help with. I need to run a cable underground for approximately 700 feet that will have to be cat5,5e, or 6 and have a switch connected at both ends. I cannot put a repeater in the middle of the cable due to it being located underground. A non-mission critical device will be connected on the furthest end.

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.
