Re: [PLUG] Ethernet Cable Specs


Actually, a link that someone posted said 90 meters/295 feet. Here it is again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat5e

In any case, patch cables are usually short, but, in reality, I don't think it matters that much. The guidelines are safe numbers for maximum performance.

Well which one is it, 100 meters or 330 feet? ;) Worst joke ever. Sorry.

CompUSA had a book on sale.  It was all about cabling.  There isn't
really much to cable selection though.  Solid conductor cable in walls.
Plenum cable in air spaces.  Stranded cable from wall jacks to Ethernet
devices.  About 100 meters or 330 feet is the limit for length.
