I'm looking at an application where there is only one avaialble pair of....

Anyone done this before?
Yup. If you've got $600 to spend, you're done, golden. Can reach a lot
longer than 200ft, as well. Old, slow, seems to be obsoleted, Tut
Systems. New, faster, made in USA, buy off the shelf, B&B Electronics.

Just a happy customer with 1200 feet of single twisted pair (Cat3, yet).
Getting 40MB on the B&B equipment, which replaced the older Tut
equipment that could only do 2MB over the same wire.
If that runs outside, spend a few more bucks on lightning suppression at
both ends.
Practically speaking, a reel of 1000 feet of ethernet cable is a lot
cheaper, and will run your distance 5 times...ISTR that the Homely
Despot even has 500 foot boxes.
