Actually, the standards specify 90 meters for the long run with two patch cords on either side that can be up to 5 meters long.

There is a timing consideration if running half duplex, the guard interval will not be sufficient if the cable distance is > 100 meters.

You may be able to go a little farther than 100 meters on cable with excellent attenuation and crosstalk characteristics (e.g. Cat6) if using full duplex.

Well, I meant Ethernet generically. Regardless of 4-wire vs 8-wire, in general, the purported safe distance for an Ethernet over copper (as opposed to fiber) connection is 100 meters. What drives this safe distance limitation spec?

    I presume you are talking about 4 wire Ethernet because we do GigE
    all the time on copper.

    GigE uses all 8 wires and has data flowing both directions.

    100 Mbps E uses 4 wires (2 pair) with TX on one pair and RX on the
    other pair.

    GigE uses advanced modulation methods as well.

    Does that help?

    I figured this was the best place to ask this question:

    What is the primary reason for the 100M limit on copper Ethernet
    links? Is it related to bit errors/SNR or is there a timing
    element involved? Something else?

    Thanks!
