Technically the spec is:
3 meters at the user
90 meters in the wall
6 meters at the swtich/closet
A switch will fully reset the 100 meter limit, a hub will to a degree,
IIRC you can only have 3 or 4 hubs between any two nodes on the network.
Is this all inside a building? If you are going outdoors, I would
strongly recommend fiber optic cableing.
