Well...first you remove the wire insulation to the depth indicated on the back of WAGO... 😉 -
It's available from various places but why? https://quickbit.co.uk/16mm-5-core-swa-cable-per-metre/ Better to run 4-core 16mm² and a separate CPC (earth) if exporting but again why, just rod the outbuilding. Whatever, run it in a duct.

UV from sunlight degrades the sheath is the main thing. You could run a line of conduit and put it in that. -
