Or a simple repeater. No need for fiber for a single pc...unless there is room for growth in the future.
Only problem with this is that any interference will be broadcasted with a repeater, which can mean lost packets. With a switch you would be safer. Also, the type of switch you decide to purchase will be important. The quoted length is 100m but I've seen problems with Linksys and D-Link to name a few, that have problems after 100ft. You could also go Directional Wireless if it is a clear line of sight between the 2 locations. As far as cable goes, different shielding is usually for code regulations, and other names (Cat5, Cat5e) are for transfer speeds, but most cat5 should work.
