JoeUser,
Sorry. Yes, the length is 100 meters. This would be between "repeaters."
OOPs!
Now reads that you are good to go.
Best,

Ethernet is normally 100 meters per drop, (328 feet) .
There are also limitations to the number of hubs you can put in between end
points as well, I believe it's 3 for 100BaseT.
Many companies sell Ethernet Repeaters or Extenders, in both copper and Fiber
versions. Then you would not need to install switches in the line.

JoeUser,
I always thought that ENET cable (cat5/6) was limited to 100ft w/o some form of
'repeater' like a hub or switch.
?Probably why I use 2 GB switches to stretch my longest run of 65ft.
Thanks. Interesting question............ :)

Hello Hardware List,
I have to put a network in place. It's about 700 ft from the
start to where I need to end it. It's got to be copper. I was going
to run Cat6 (Cat6e?) even though its a 10/100 network and drop a
10/100 switch every 200 ft or so. The switch would serve 2 purposes: 1>
allow an access point and 2> let me run the network without losing
the signal strength. Is this doable? Comments?
