Re: Never expected this to work
With good network cards on both ends (or good switch), it's possible.
Years ago, I installed a FTP cat5e cable between two buildings and I know for sure it was more than 105 meters, I think it was in the range of 107-110 meters. It was working fine with no packet loss and transfers around 600-800 mbps 24/7 (students in university campus sharing movies and music between them)

I think 100M is 'safe' not strictCap Datasheet Depot: http://www.paullinebarger.net/DS/

Re: Never expected this to work
I was certifying the structured cabling at a collage a few years back and from one of the art studio pc labs that every point was over 200m with UTP... It did 'work' but the switch wasn't happy about it. Nor were they when we pointed out it at least needed re-routing to a nearer cab, taking a more sensible route, and hoping it came into spec, or possibly installing a small cab in the lab.

Re: Never expected this to work
Ok from what I understand cat 5e is good for gigabit to 100 metersLast edited by joshnz; 05-04-2015, 06:52 AM.My pc

Re: Never expected this to work
The maximum length allowed by standards is 105 meters. Wikipedia says 100 meters but I know I remember it as 105 meters.
There is some note in the standard ( ) saying something about 5 meters not included for patch cords and internal cabling but I'm not curious and patient enough to read the whole damn thing.

So if you don't have patch cables it will improve the signal.
And you say that you used shielded cables, which further improves things.

Re: Never expected this to work
Doesn't sound as impresive now only 3 meters over length.
For some reason I had in my mind 30m for cat 5
aNd needed cat 6 for gigabit at 30m +
I think I was confusing cat 5e specs with cat 5.
Not looked it up.
Also this is a poe cable.My pc
