In theory, cables will work up to 300 feet long (100 Meters)

BUT, each of these aspects can cause problems.

* Crappy Hubs/Switches/Routers/NICs can't boost the signal that far
* Use crappy wire and you have no chance at all
* Use of good wire than has been abused.. (excessivly bent, flexed, pinched)
* Ends not installed correctly (crimper required, wires trimmed to fit, -use common sense)
