Spoon -
Keep in mind that it could be a bunch of other factors that could have killed your connection - interference being the most likely, not cable length. If that cable is running anywhere near power wires or sources, forget about a good connection. Strong radio and EM signals can also kill it. When you run that cable outside, make sure it's away from all other cables and power sources. Also, a higher cat rating won't necessarily get you a more stable connection. If you want to swap to better cable, try STP (shielded twisted pair) rather than conventional UTP CAT5.
