I will in the next few days may be take one or two photos of installation and explain further what the difficulties and results were. In the meantime this is what we decided that the best method to get internet to the remote building was by installing two Ubiquiti NBE-5AC-16 NanoBeam AC Outdoor 5GHz 16dBi WiFi Point-to-Point Link Kit (450Mbps AC) mounted on J poles.
We played with the idea of suggestions from members of this forum to extend a cable on catenary wire from one building to the other but it meant having to dig a small trench on a tarmac drive and a block paved area at the entrance to the remote building to drive ground rods to connect the surge protectors for the Cat6 cable and the catenary wire as there was no easy way to connect the ground wires.
On advice from CS at Ubiquity (USA) the Ubiquiti NBE-5AC-16 NanoBeam did not need to be grounded as the NanoBeams have protection against ESD within its circuitry, so the powers to be decided to install the NanoBeams. That was one issue solved, the second issue has been as my post above we have been unable to purchase RJ45 shielded modular plugs that the shielded Cat6 cable pairs would fit into the holes! We purchased from three different sources in Amazon, some very expensive ones but to my disappointment none fitted the Cat6 shielded pairs! If anyone here knows where I could lay my hands on proved RJ45 shielded modular plugs that will fit the cat6 pairs I would appreciate if they could let me know. As a consequence I have had to use Cat6 UTP cable in flexible conduit.
The only issue now is that I will have to rerun the cables in one particular room to distance the cables further from fluorescent light fittings as when the lights are on the download speed drops fro 16Mbps to 1.6Mbps!
