The maximum connection length for different UTP cables between networking devices: Cat 5 – 100 meter (328 feet) Cat 5e – 100 meter (328 feet) Cat 6 – 100 meter (328 feet) Of course you can run cable more than specified maximum length, but the network performance might be dropped due to packet loss and transmission error.
