[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 392670, member: 9512"] The "theoretical" maximum length for an Ethernet connection is 100m. Anything beyond that is down to luck. Also, it's not just down to dc resistance as the tx frequency is well above dc. You will eventually get a connection I suspect, as yes, a computer will "learn" to "adapt" to a bad connection, but, the rate will be dire. Better cable will probably give you a better result. Good quality Cat5E screened would probably do 120m, as probably Cat6 would, but even these are borderline on the standards. Best option is to put a Smart Switch part way down unless you are going to change the cable. [/QUOTE]
