Best Answer

It's 100 meters according to the specification. This is set as 90 meters for in-wall cable and 10 meters for patch cords.

You may be able to get the proper performance at longer distances, but even though the cable may perform at distances greater than 100 meters, the installation would still fail as 'out of spec.'
