First, let me say that I realize this could be done more easily using Ethernet cables, maybe even Wifi, but I'm very curious about this and think it would be a fun learning project. I don't want to get in over my head with costs, but I've seen terminating tool kits for around $500 (they usually only do two or three types of cables for this price, but I'm okay with that), so with all said and done, I'm hoping I could get the equipment I need for about a grand. The first thing I was thinking about doing was running a cable from my house to the shed to add a Wifi repeater and get a decent connection on my phone from anywhere in the yard. Then I don't know, maybe I can find a neighbor that would like to connect.
Anyway, I don't see any need for a cable that's more than two or three hundred meters long, nor ultra-high speeds since my LAN is all gigabit or less anyway. Multimode would probably be the way to go. Other than that, I've read a lot and watched plenty of Youtube videos and see that people have done this, but there isn't a lot of information on what kind of cabling would be good for someone new to it or other things that might be good to know for someone just starting out. I was hoping for some advice on how realistic my goals are (I have seen others do it at least) and something a little more specific on what kind of cabling and equipment to use.
