Re: Ethernet cable
100m is the maximum length without a switch in line.

Each plug is effectively 1m of cable so say 98m of cable (one plug on each end).

Re: Ethernet cable
Depending on the quality of the cable, you can often get quite a lot more than the maximum rated 100m without too many problems
