Outdoor runs - fiber not an option, ca7 or stick with Cat6?

Hello, looking to do several daisy chain runs with max of 3-4 HOPS using outdoor switches. How long of a run is Cat7 cable rated for outdoors? I have bulk Cat6 that I can use obviously but wanted to see if anyone has experience running Cat7 and if it really makes a difference vs cat6.

Home---100ft--->Switch1---200ft--> Switch 2 (branches to 3 locations)

Sw2--->1st location----250ft---->switch 3

Sw2 -->2nd location----200ft---->switch 4

Sw2--->3rd location----250ft---->switch 5

Thanks.
