Best Answer

Category 5 cable can be made into different lengths. However, it cannot be longer than 100 meters or 328 feet. This is because at longer lengths there will likely be signal loss.

The Next Generation: Cat 6 Cable?

Category 6 cable, often abbreviated as Cat 6, is the next generation of the widely used Ethernet networking cables. Category 5, or Cat 5, is an almost universal standard in offices and residential areas where a wired network is required. Cat 6 ups the ante by providing faster and more reliable transmission rates than ever before. By eliminating line noise and crosstalk problems, Cat 6 cable can provide 250 MHz transmission speed with supreme accuracy. The only problem with Cat 6 cable is that with its higher standards for noise comes a lower maximum length. Cat 6 cable can only be counted on to provide optimum speeds in lengths less than 90 meters.


How far Can cat five Internet cable works?

The Cat 5e and Cat 6 ethernet cables are available in 50 foot and longer lengths and have no problem working that distance.

I really don't know how far they work only that they will work if you purchase a non custom cable length and have seen a length as long as 250 feet for the CAT 6 cables
