The maximum length of a cat 5 e cable with out a repeater is 100meters
100 meters for a cat-6 segment.
The maximum distance for Category 3 (Cat 3) cable is typically 100 meters (328 feet) for data transmission. This type of cable supports data rates up to 10 Mbps and is primarily used for voice communication and low-speed data applications. Beyond this distance, signal quality can degrade significantly, leading to potential data loss or reduced performance.
A maximum pulling tension is specified for Cat 5 cable to prevent damage to the internal twisted pairs and insulation during installation. Exceeding this tension can cause signal interference, degrade performance, and potentially lead to cable failure. It is important to follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure proper installation and optimal functionality of the cable.
The maximum is 1 Gbps (CAT-5e, CAT-6), the maximum distance without attenuation is 100 m.
The maximum length of a Cat 3 Ethernet cable that can be used for networking purposes is 100 meters.

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.
The minimum cable type for 10BASE-T is Category 3 (Cat 3) twisted pair cable. This standard supports data rates of up to 10 Mbps and a maximum distance of 100 meters. While Cat 3 is the minimum requirement, higher category cables like Cat 5 or Cat 5e can also be used for better performance and future-proofing.
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
