Non-shielded in a conduit, but it appears to work just fine at 100 Mbps. The two buildings are on the same meter, but far enough apart for possible issues.
I had spare Cambium PoE injectors on hand, so I put one in line to see if it resolves the problem. I'll follow up after waiting enough time for problems not to resurface. I didn't install the network itself, I'm just the Internet / Phone / Router hookup here. But my router is doing weird things when connected, so I was digging deeper. Although there are "better" ways, I'm just looking for stability here, and will let the customer know they can improve things otherwise for an additional cost.
