Physics isn't always constant. Several factors can shorten your effective cable length:
(split into 5m on each end) for "patch cables" to connect your devices to the wall outlet.
of "permanent link" (the solid copper wire hidden behind walls).
Exceeding this limit doesn't just result in a slightly slower connection; it can lead to , where the electrical signal weakens so much that the receiving device can no longer distinguish data from background noise. Why 100 Meters? The Physics of the Limit The 100-meter limit exists for three primary reasons:
