Owen said:100m is the specced maximum segment length for a single run of
category 5 UTP cable, so all you really need is two shorter runs that
add up to 100m and some sort of repeater to connect them (a switch or
hub will do nicely).
For wireless, get a directional antenna. Depending on the amount of
gain you need they can be had for $30 or so up to $300 or so.
