You could just run 3x 12ga and run the 110 AC all the way out there.
For a load as small as you're saying, you wouldn't even notice the
voltage drop.

I have run up to 600 volts on CAT 5.

Maybe. My bigger problem is how to get 24
volts/whatever-that-can-be-regulated-down-to-24v to the other end of a
800 foot wire run without too much voltage drop/heat so I could power
<whatever-to-power-fiber-things+20watts> for a micropop without wire
the size of my thumb.
I guess I could run a transformer to up-convert from 110VAC to
<something> and then another one on the other end to run smaller wire,
but I don’t know if that’s practical vs just buying something off the
shelf. Wondering if someone’s already solved the problem and can
recommend what they did, besides google and guess.
