I was taught at Uni that never exceed 100m on cat5 as there will be data loss but I have installed 50+m with no problems at all and that was in a workplace carrying tons of data from a PC to 4 serial Xerox 4135 high speed high volume spool printers and also carrying network data too.

Also the data can't go as far if it's uphill.

Hence uploads are slow, dowloads are fast.

You have to straighten the cables out occassionally. Digital data is in 0s and 1s and the ones can't always get around tight corners.

Surely ones are skinnier and more nimble than zeroes? I'll check the cat5 cable specifications in a minute to be sure.
