A very inexpensive alternative to fiber optic cabling is to
consider the use of Ubiquity Nanobeam microwave transceivers in a
bridge mode to extend your ethernet.
I use a pair of NBE-5AC-GEN2 devices to link our home
wired/wireless network to my shop building's wired/wireless
network. Best yet is only one SSID for three AP's - no switching
wireless networks when roaming.
For less than $100 each, these 5gHz transceivers have a throughput
of 450mBs and a line-of-sight range in miles. They connect with
ordinary CAT6 cabling.

They are sold by Amazon and other retailers. No digging, conduit or
weatherproofing. No lightning threat either.

These days you can get desktop/soho switches with SFP ports for fairly
inexpensive costs, and fibre is 100% surge protection, vs any copper
based converter.
Plus as speeds keep increasing getting 10g over 300' of copper can be
a challenge, its no problem at all for fibre.
