Crossover Cable length

[Ottis]

What is the Max length you can use. My pc is downstairs and the xbox is up stairs. I would like to use about 30 ft of it so I don't have to bring my xbox down all the time to work onit.

Maximum length for a cat 5e ethernet cable is 100 metres.

max length. I don't think cat5 cables can have a max length.

[Ottis]

So if i use about 30 feet I will be ok then

[Quall999]

well, I have cat5e cable wired through my walls that reach over 30 feet. So, you should be fine.

anything under 50 feet is ok but 50+ you'll need a switch.
