PC ethernet cable length

[nymo]

Hi there,

Just got a 32 channel PC and was wondering about the ethernet cable
length which goes from the computer to the hub.

Is there a maximum length (i 'm using a 10 metre (30 feet) cable) or is it best to use a short a length as possible ??

I am using the original digi ones from the fader packs and main unit.

I might start to worry at 200 ft.

Ethernet specification allows for 100 meters (approx 328 feet.)
I think you are OK, but with any copper cable: using just what you need is ideal.

I was going to say that. You can however use switches to increase the length.
