The technical specification for Cat5e specifies a total length of 100 meters (about 328 feet). This usually breaks down (during design) to 90 meters of 'structured cable' (cable that is permanently installed from one point to another) and ten meters (33 feet) of connecting cables for the ends. This isn't the complete answer however. The Cat 5e specification is less about length and more about performance. It's quite possible that a cable can be shorter than 100m and still not meet the Cat 5e standard. The most common cause is poor installation. A cable that bends too sharply deforms the wiring inside and can cause the signal sent on one wire to interfere with the signal on another. Cable that is not properly terminated can cause loss of data because of poor connections or wire to wire interference. On the other hand, if you simply ignore the arbitrary length limit and concentrate on proper installation methods, you can easily obtain Cat 5e PERFORMANCE well beyond the stated 100 meters.

What type of cable has a maximum length of 607 feet?
The type of cable that has a maximum length of 607 feet is the Category 5e (Cat 5e) Ethernet cable. While Ethernet cables can technically run longer distances, the standard maximum length for effective data transmission is 328 feet (100 meters). However, for certain applications, such as specific types of fiber optic setups, a fiber optic cable can transmit data over significantly longer distances, but that would not be applicable to traditional copper cables like Cat 5e.
What is the maximum segment length that is specified by the 1000BASE-T standard?
The maximum segment length specified by the 1000BASE-T standard is 100 meters (328 feet) when using Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. This length includes the total length of the cable run from the switch or router to the endpoint device, accounting for any patch cables used in the installation.

What is the highest transmission speed attainable using the best twisted-pair cable?
The maximum is 1 Gbps (CAT-5e, CAT-6), the maximum distance without attenuation is 100 m.
What is the maximum speed of data cat5 cable?
The transmission speed of the cable is limited in most cases by the hardware attached to it. Cat5 basic cable has been used successfully up to 1 gigabit speed using ethernet. There have been lab tests proving it might be useful for 10gigabit over short ranges but usually that requires Cat5e or Cat6 grade cable. The most common speeds are 10/100 mb ethernet.
2 What is the maximum distance of Cat 5e cabling for data transmission?
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
