RE: [expert] CAT-5 10BaseT cable max length

[Vanco, Donald]

A lot will depend on the data rate and the device on the cable, but I'd say
100-200 meters on CAT5 UTP.  You might get away with a little longer on
10base - but if you're running 100, Gig, or ATM you might see "issues".
Another consideration is proximity to power sources if you run UTP - AC
current = bad.  I have also seen data errors on cabling that had been bent
too much repeatedly!  Lemme tell you how fun that was to trace down....
carrier does not always mean transmission.

YMMV
