I've used regular good quality Cat6a and gone at least 500 feet with no issues. I'd argue any good quality cable could do this

I like this. I wish I had this knowledge in 2006-7 When I pulled a structured cabling job into an Operating Room in an Indiana Hospital and after all the hours of rerouting I fudged the cable certification with a similar length cable to get the GD job done. According to the footage count on the wire I was at 318 ft. The tester measured it at 101 meters. Had i had 23 AWG cat6 or even this 22awg stuff, I would have felt better about doing this in an operating room.
My only real world long distance camera run had tree roots, underground electicity, asphalt and undergound Gas piplene sticks on the perimeter of our property, the Ubiquiti nano worked great in this instance as I had electricity in the building on the other end.

I've always wanted to try the Mikrotik Wireless Wire, but I don't have a use for one 
This looks to be about $400 for a 1000 foot spool. You would need the proper terminating supplies and tools, which are probably more expensive also.
