The 'secret sauce' is behind the metalwork, however I can talk about the cable in more detail.
up to 50' - Any standard CAT5e or CAT6 cable construction, 4 pair UTP or STP, solid BC or stranded, 24AWG or 23AWG, CAT5e or CAT6 compliant jacks and plugs.
50' to 200' - Any standard CAT5e or CAT6 cable construction, 4 pair UTP or STP, solid BC, 24AWG or 23AWG, CAT5e or CAT6 compliant jacks and plugs.
200' to 300' - Any standard CAT6 cable construction, 4 pair F/UTP or STP or S/FTP, solid BC, 24AWG or 23AWG, CAT6 compliant jacks and plugs.
Max TP cable distance between converters is 300'. The sweetspot max length is 250' concerning margins for s/n, x-talk, and attenuation. In contrast with ethernet for example, it is worth mentioning that 100m(328') horizontal network segments have a specified max (non-zero) bit-error-rate (BER). Ordinary 10/100/1000 Mbit networks can deal with this non-zero BER, whereas the Venue snake circuit (serial data link) will not tolerate BER's of a certain level above zero (ideally should be zero). This is handled by the CRC circuit in the Venue snake.
All category cable should have a pair lay and pair termination equal to TIA/EIA 568B.
Coax jumper cables:
Belden 1505A or equivalent, 36 inches max.
