I once had a Tranzeo radio running at near 500ft of cable, at 100 Base full, with no problems. Granted it was Belden 7919 Shielded Cable... it was a backhaul for my house and didn't have issue with the cable (getting the radio to deal with the noise floor was a separate issue :-)
FWIW... I've run many radios to 350ft on 802.3af power and 24v PoE with no issues. I of course try to avoid it, but I often wonder if those recommendations were for CAT5 cable, and 5e allows you to stretch a little bit further...
