You're checking if the 90-meter cable length fits within the disturbance limits mentioned online. The info suggests up to 100 meters is acceptable, but you're curious about how the main wire stays intact without interference from other cables like copper or fiber. Regarding Cat5e, Cat6, and higher, you're aiming for better performance, so if you need a reliable option, consider Cat6 or even Cat7 for longer distances. For your setup, a 100-meter Cat6 cable should work well, but ensure proper installation to avoid interference. If you're unsure, go with the higher standard to guarantee stability.

Ethernet is limited to about 100 meters. But with the proper gear you can push that further. Fiber offers significantly longer reach, which is why many ISPs deploy it across their systems. When using coaxial cable, they send fiber a certain range and then convert it back to coax. The RF signal on coax can be boosted at intervals to reach more homes. At 100 meters the signal starts to weaken. As I mentioned earlier, you’d need to repeat the signal. I’d be cautious about purchasing a cable that long because the standard doesn’t guarantee quality beyond that point. If you can, place a switch along the line to help regenerate the signal and ensure it arrives properly. Alternatively, opting for fiber optics would be a better choice.

That's... quite a distance, isn't it? Most indoor sprints typically stay under about 30 meters.

I'd need to calculate the actual length.

Sure, I understand. It sounds like you're planning a complex layout that will definitely go up the wall, ceiling, outside, and back inside. That’s definitely going to be a long one!
