I'm a bit concerned about the underground cable.

Are you considering Cat5 because you want to collect the data directly to your office computer and therefore need bandwidth galore?

I'd probably go Wifi with 5GHz if this frequency is feasible.
5GHz is fast - but can not go through (many) walls. Window-to-Window should work fine.
(2.4 GHz is too slow.)
Wifi routers compliant with 802.11ac give the best throughput.
You would connect 1 computer to this wifi router via cable and the other computer connects to the WiFi.

An alternative could be PowerLAN (by Devolo, Netgear, TP-Link or AVM to name a few):
if the electrical circuit in the Ob feeds of the one in the house, PowerLAN gives you a stable quasi-Ethernet connection with ~ 500Mbit/s without an additional cat5 cable under ground.
Does not support going through power strips.

Remote Desktop software:
I know and like VNC, Damware, NetOp, Teamviewer - we never used Windows' own RemoteDesktop in our professional environments.
