Connecting Omni Pro to expansion enclosure

I am planning to install an expansion enclosure in my garage-- which is about 100 feet from the panel in my house.   I have a buried 2 inch conduit between the house and the garage that I will be using.   Could someone help me with the type of wire that I need to pull between the house and the garage?   Will cat 6 burial wire work, or should I go with 18/4?  Or other options?
 
Burial would be a must. Rating depends on what is connected. If it's fire, then fire rated or suitable substitution are needed as are suppressors on each end of the cable, leaving and entering the buildings.
 
Would go heavier than a Cat cable.
 
A buddy of mine just did this about 6 months ago.  His shop is about 200' from the Omni panel, and he ran 22/4 in direct burial jacket.  It's working great.
 
OK, I am still working on this.   I also am now also looking at a hooking up barn that is 800 ft from the house.   Again pulling through conduit.   According to the instruction manual on the Omni pro, the range is up to 1000 ft, so I should be OK.
 
I found Honeywell genesis 4157 cable in 18/4 which is fire and burial rated.
 
However, I found another option from cabling plus that was burial rated and shielded, but not fire rated.  
 
Which looks like the best option?
