Thanks for all the input. I will be using CAT5e gel filled underground cable. I will also put it in 1/2 PVC conduit. There is lots of room for the CAT5 without ends connectors. This way if I need to pull a replacement cable for any reason, I will not need to re-dig.

(2) Would this "ground" wire close to the CAT5e cable interfere with the signal?
