The maximum length of a cat 5 e cable with out a repeater is 100meters
100 meters for a cat-6 segment.
The maximum is 1 Gbps (CAT-5e, CAT-6), the maximum distance without attenuation is 100 m.

A Cat 5 cable is an Ethernet cable, used in computer networks. Cat 5 cables are designed for high signal integrity, and can carry two separate telephone lines.
The max distance is 100 m.
For any Cat 5 cable, the maximum segment length is 100 meters per segment.
When running CAT 5 cable the rule of thumb is 25 feet. So with that being said you need a signal booster installed ever 25 feet if you want to have full use of the internet through the cable.
That depends on what you will be using the cable for. In general, the higher the frequency of the signal being sent down the cable, the shorter the cable has to be. The environment of the cable is also important. If the cable is in an electrically noisy environment, it needs to be shorter. There are various standards that specify the maximum length of a cable. Sometimes it will work (some of the time) if you use a longer piece of cable, but following the standard is much more likely to work correctly all the time. Some examples from computer networking standars: For 10BASE-T Ethernet, the maximum length of a cable is 100 meters. Note that this standard was defined for Cat 3 cable, so you'll probably be able to use Cat 5e cable to send the signal further. However, there's no standard specifying how much further - you'll probably have to test it yourself. For 100BASE-T Ethernet, the maximum length is also 100 meters, but the cable grade is specified as Cat 5 (not Cat 5e). So you might be able to make a longer run work with Cat 5e. For 1000BASE-T Ethernet, again the maximum length is 100 meters, but now the cable must be Cat 5e. Also, all four pairs of the cable are used, whereas in the other two standards only two pairs are used. HTH, Gdunge
standard cat 5 e and cat 6 the normal cable you will find in use with you router is 100m other types of network cable vary look them up on google
ADSL (asymmetrical digital subscriber line) is a protocol that you ISP (internet service provider) use it is a analogue signal. cable normally is a cat 5e or cat 6 in to the modem and is a digital connection (much faster)
* Category 1: Traditional telephone cable (voice but no data transmission) * Category 2: Data transmission up to a maximum of 4 Mbit/s (RNIS). This type of cable contains 4 twisted pairs * Category 3: 10 Mbit/s maximum. This type of cable contains 4 twisted pairs and 3 twists per foot * Category 4: 16 Mbit/s maximum. This type of cable contains 4 copper twisted pairs * Category 5: 100 Mbit/s maximum. This type of cable contains 4 copper twisted pairs * Category 5e: 1000 Mbit/s maximum. This type of cable contains 4 copper twisted pairs
