Yes, regular CAT-6 gigabit Ethernet is good for 100m. Inside the shed you connect whatever serves your devices in there best. With a WiFi access point you often get two or three switch ports as well, so that may be the way to go.
Once you’ve dug the trench put in an extra run of network cable, as contingency. And perhaps even a power cable, in case the sun doesn’t shine
