Be careful. Running cat5/6 outside is generally considered hazardous,
though it's probably not too terrible on only a 45m run. Differences in
ground potential can lead to damagingly high ground currents down that
cable, and nearby lightling can indiuce sizeable surges.
We were considering a similar set-up for my wife's former in-laws, 200m
away, when we lived in North Carolina, assuming we could once get a
decent connection ourselves. However, we were going to do it with fiber
(I have a pair of 10baseT-10baseFX bridges), which is a much safer way
to do it.
