Crossover Cable length
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.

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

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