Thanks for the offers both - I think I'm a bit far away from you though, @stevo_com
^ I'm doing similar. Again. Because fucking ethernet.
I have 2 shielded & gel filled exterior cat6e cables coming from the house (into which I drilled a BigHole), then into the shed (MoarBigHoles), then from the switch to my office (YetMoarBigHoles).
But, I'm a fucking idiot, and the turns are probably too tight, and instead of glorious megabit connections, I'm getting ~10MB, which is a bit shit, as I'm doing a bunch of modelling on 100+GB datasets.
I've picked up 50m of flexible conduit, and a load of glands, junction boxes and clips, so I'm going to run interior cat6 that is a heap more flexible & easier to terminate, from the house to the shed, and from the shed to the office.
When I finally get round to lifting the floor in the front room, I'll extend the incoming fibre through previously installed conduit (actually domestic waste pipes) so that we can watch telly in the middle of the house.
Threading cables under floorboards. Fuck that noise so hard.
