If I understand the spec correctly for 100BaseTX, I should be fine.
The 90' cable is labeled as outdoor Cat 5e, though I wonder how
long is this cable going to last?
100 Meters [300 ft] unshielded twisted-pair cable is the standard for
*all* baseband runs. YMMV

Should I jump up to Cat 6 STP cable?
You should test both segments individually, and swap out the coupler in the
middle. What that run is doing is NOT NORMAL.

Um, er, when we discussed this back in December it was pointed out
that the total cabling limit for 100BASE-CX and 1000BASE-CX (STP) is
82 feet. Since you're also running an additional 100' of UTP in that
segment you're pushing your luck even without cable
I have 100 feet of Cat 5e UTP cable wired from my server running into
an attic area. After that, a crossover coupler and 90 feet of Cat5e
STP cable follows. The client computer has a 100 mbps Netgear Fa311,
but the server is limited to 10 mbps because I historically could not
get a stable link
