Detailed explanation-1: -UTP cables are popular all over the world due to their low cost, ease of installation and flexibility. They also support high data transfer speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) for transmission distances of up to 100 meters (m).
Detailed explanation-2: -Ethernet-100 meters (328 feet) There are a few different versions of ethernet cable, but they all have a maximum distance of 100 meters (328 feet).
Detailed explanation-3: -Cat5 cables can carry data, telephone and video signals and have a maximum recommended length of 328 feet (100 meters).
Detailed explanation-4: -Ethernet segments are limited to lengths of 100 meters because stations connected to Ethernet share a communication medium. If two stations send messages at the same time, both signals distort and become unreadable.
Detailed explanation-5: -According to the IEEE specification (IEEE 802.3bp) and at the time of writing (early 2022), the maximum distance is 40 meters on unshielded twisted pair.
