Question : Problem: Running cat5 outside between two buildings

We have a school wired with cat5e cable. We just got a trailer that we need to run network connections to. The trailer is about 20 feet from the school. We are going to have electric, phone, etc.. run to the trailer. I want to have them run a cat5e drop to this trailer also. Not sure how they are running the other cables yet, but I am going to have them get outside rated cat5e cable and run it from the school to the trailer through a piece of conduit separate from the other cables so that there is no interference on the network cable. Is this the best approach?

Thanks

Answer : Problem: Running cat5 outside between two buildings

it is possible to use shielded cable, there is actually a lightning protector adapter that connects to it for that reason to ground it.
