That's one I hadn't encountered. At those distances I start contemplating wireless solutions.
Got myself a nice outdoor POE camera, a bunch of appropriate CAT and power adapter... and then realized that since the previous owners had put in a sheet-rock ceiling (not complaining; drop ceilings make me fell like I'm living in a warehouse), I had no easy way to run the ethernet all the way crosswise across the house from where the switch was to where I wanted the camera. I'd been thinking since the utility room wasn't finished I'd figure a way to thread it with a flashlight and a "step 3: ???". The moral is that running long wires is not my favorite thing.
