Not worried about that at all, which is why it runs 10Base-T instead of
100Base-T. When the time comes to upgrade, all the cable (and hopefully
soon, fiber) will support 100Mb operation anyway.

Everything is run in underground conduit (that I painfully remember
installing two years ago), so there are no immediate weather related
issues.

No real point in going wireless on this particular lan, as it already has
conduit and copper between buildings. The distances are not too bad
either, but the copper between buildings invites potential ground loops
and damaged network gear.
