The 3-pt attachment you want is called a single tine ripper or Subsoiler. The accessory linked above attaches to the Subsoiler for feeding wire or plastic tubing into the cut as you go. You'll also need some type of spool/reel holder. When it's all said and done, it may be cheaper to rent a Ditch Witch if this is a one-time use.

Buy a large diameter PVC pipe or conduit 90 degree elbow and wire it to your subsoiler. 5 or 6 dollars.

It's called a subsoiler. Look it up on Google videos.

There are quite a few threads on these, with some great pics and ideas on homemade ones. Mine was just a simple ripper shank and a piece of 1" pvc conduit.

Whatever you use, I would add a gage wheel to prevent it from going too deep. Yo don't want to snag buried fiber optic or ???

Personally I just got a 3pt trencher. 3' deep & 6" wide. Got a killer deal on it & have several projects for it myself & so do a few friends. Will likely get sold after that. I know a lot of others put basically an elbow on the back of a subsoiler & use that, basically the same thing as the agri-supply link earlier.
Be very careful about burying Ethernet. You can get ground loop issues between different buildings. Commercially people never run copper, they only run fiber between buildings because of this. I did run conduit & put Ethernet in it out to my chicken coop & up to my shop when we did a different trenching project. I'm a huge believer in putting in conduit rather than wire of any sort. That way you can replace, repair or upgrade it as needed without having to trench again. Some areas have huge issues with critters eating small cable that gets buried.
