Guys, I’m a bit late to the party here but I’m a data cabler by day, and yes, you can get cat6 for outdoor use. Don’t think it comes in pre-made cables but you can certainly buy it on the roll. It is normal cat6 cable with a heavy duty black uv jacket on it. Use it all the time when doing outdoor radio links. Just need to be able to crimp rj45 ends on it or know someone who can.
Underground cat 6 is also available. It’s same as outdoor cat6 but with grease in the cable to prevent water ingress.
As an aside, cat6 should be able to be run for 100m with no real issues. If a 3m cable don’t work, there is something terribly wrong with that cable.
