Greg, I've run a couple of about 80 metre lengths of CAT 5 cable (from house to obs) and the network operates without any problems. The cable is buried in the same trench as the power cable (and HD poly water pipe) but segregated.
I agree with Michael re terminating in a wall socket, then using a short jumper cable.
Re supply, I called in to a local electrical distributer and they sold me the remains of largish drum of Cat 5. This mob also do data installations so I'm sure that they would have terminated the cables if I'd asked. You just need the right tool.
