The garage and the house are over 1/10 of a mile apart?
yeah. it's not a car garage.

There can be some significant safety issues in stringing copper
between buildings, especially over significant distances and if
the building grounds are not interbonded. I'd encourage the O.P.
to first consult a local electrical inspector, or an electrician
who is familiar with the local conditions and safety codes. Yes,
I know this is not mains power, but hazards exist with signal
wiring as well.
I don't plan to string cable at all. Cable is already in place for
all the electric stuff.
One alternative would be to track down a couple of fiber
adapters, and string (non-conductive) fiber instead of copper.
