Campus and Branch LAN Design

What is the recommended maximum length for one Cat6E cable?

  • A 328 feet (100 meters)
  • B 1000 feet (300 meters)
  • C 3280 feet (1000 meters)
  • D 100 feet (30 meters)
Explanation

The standard maximum Ethernet reach over balanced twisted-pair copper cabling is 100 meters (328 feet); longer runs can impair reliable signaling. IEEE 802.3an specifies 10GBASE-T operation over balanced twisted-pair structured cabling for up to 100 m.
