The maximum length of a 1000 ft Ethernet cable for network connections is 328 feet.
To get xbox live for the 360 all you need is a cat5 or cat 6 ethernet cable. Any cable will do so there really is no limit on the lengt, in face you could get a 1000+ ft cable if you want. If you do not want such a long cable you can purchase a wifi adapter.
10-Mbps Ethernet, 100-Mbps or Fast Ethernet, and 1000-Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet.
buy a 10-100-1000 nic card. get cat 5e or cat 6 network cable. make sure your network devices are 1000. if not. then they will only run at 10-100
The 'Ether' part of Ethernet denotes that the system is not meant to be restricted for use on only one medium type, copper cables, fibre cables and even radio waves can be used. Fast Ethernet Network was developed as an upgrade to traditional Ethernet Networking. Fast Ethernet improved traditional Ethernet by increasing transfer rates 10 times, from 10 Megabit to 100 Megabit speed. Gigabit Ethernet Network is an upgrade on Fast Ethernet Network equivalent to Fast Ethernet Networks improvement over Fast Ethernet Network, offering speeds of 1000 Megabits (1 Gigabit) Cisco have a good document with diagrams and a reasonable amount of depth that answers your questions on 10/100/1000 Ethernet. See related link. Ethernet card would be 10Mbps (mega bauds per second) Fast Ethernet card would be 100Mbps. Most ethernet cards sold today are Fast Ethernet or better. Look for the 100Mbps or the 10/100Mbps specification. The only difference between the both is the speed. Hence both cards are basically the same using the same technology except the fast Ethernet card can run on 10/100mb/s, an astonishing speed. Original 10Base2, 10Base5 and 10baseT Ethernet (thin coaxial cable, thick coaxial cable and twisted pair, respectively) specifications offered a 10Mbit/second throughput (data transfer rate). Although 1 Byte is 8 bits, 10Mbits in practice doesn't mean 1.25MBytes/second, because there's some extra information transferred. On average it can be seen as a ~1MByte/second link speed. Then new standards appeared, some of them exotic (like 100VG AnyLan), but the new Ethernet standard was 100baseTX, which used twisted pair (like 10baseT, but with slightly higher quality requirements - Category 5 cable). It has been called Fast Ethernet, as it offered 100Mbit/sec transfer speed, a 10-fold improvement. Usually all the network equipment can talk both 10baseT and 100baseTX (for example network switches have "10/100" ports). But this was not enough - then came a next speed-up: the 1000baseTX, still running on twisted pair, but with even higher cable quality requirements, offering 1000Mbit/s transfer speed, thus called Gigabit Ethernet: 1000 Mega = 1 Giga.
Gigabit Ethernet is also known as 1000 mega bits per seconds (Mbps). It is a part of the family of Ethernet computer networking and communication standards.
1000 Mbps
1000 base‑lx
Ethernet ports transfer data at rates up to 1000 mbps.
Category 1,2 :Telephone cable Category 3 :Used for voice cabling and 10mb Ethernet Category 5 :Used for 10/100 mb Ethernet and works for voice as well. Category 5E: Extended category 5 cabling that helps to prevent cross talk, work for 10/100/1000 mb (or gigabit ethernet) Category 6 : Like Category 5E but with a larger gauge wire , used for cascading .
It depends on brand and how much you buy. Usually a box of good cable is approx 25 cents a foot for 1000 feet
It depends on the type/speed. For 100 mbit/s twisted-pair (CAT5/6), it's 100 metres, for 1000 mbit/s - 1 gBit/s it's also 100 m *with the correct cable* and no sneaky tight bends/ overdone cable ties. The older coaxial cables gave 185 m, 500 m, but these are obsolete. The longest total length for ethernet is 100m, or just a bit over 300 feet. That is for pure cable lengths between any device that would regenerate the signal, such as a switch or hub. The problem is if the signal is to degradded by the time it reaches the device it can't be regenerated properly.
