Too long, you'll need to use fibre. Max distance for copper is 100m.

I think all Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7 are 100m.

EDIT: Beaten to it.

Cat6e isn't a thing

or cat7

Cat7 isn't relevant for home, use Cat5e or Cat6

direct burial cable

Do it properly and run ducting

If it's purely for CCTV you could maybe get away with one of the long range PoE CCTV switches e.g. https://transmission.dahuasecurity..../Switches/PoESwitchForSecurity/PFS3009-8ET-96
that will do 250m@10Mbps.


Or ethernet repeaters might be an option (as long as you put one in the middle to reduce it to 100m lengths)

Long-Range Ethernet Repeater - Ubiquiti Store

Long-range Gigabit Ethernet adapter that receives PoE/PoE+ and offers passthrough PoE output.

As @Armageus mentions. There is no CAT6E. There is CAT6A though.

And as others have mentioned. Really no need for CAT7. Also the 100m limit on copper is a recommendation because network testing equipment is calibrated to 100m on the drop cable (Including patch cables at either end)
But... We have run over 150m of CAT5e runs in the past for Lancashire Cricket club as they cheap out on wanting to buy another switch/repeater. And for CCTV/general data, it has worked flawless.

200 meters is pushing it, but using good quality cat6 and properly installed (critical) it would probably work. Suck and see then report back.

Slightly envious of your 200 metre garden, but I wouldn’t fancy mowing it.
