Key Takeaways for This Prompt
Cat6 cables support 100 meters maximum length for 1 Gbps speeds without signal degradation.
For 10 Gbps speeds, Cat6 cable length is limited to 55 meters to maintain signal quality.
Signal attenuation, crosstalk, and electromagnetic interference increase with longer cable runs.
Network switches, repeaters, or fiber optic cables are needed to extend connections beyond these limits.

SUMMARY
Cat6 cables support up to 100 meters (328 feet) for 1 Gbps speeds without significant signal degradation. For higher 10 Gbps speeds, the maximum effective length decreases to 55 meters (180 feet) due to increased signal attenuation and crosstalk. Exceeding these lengths can cause signal attenuation, crosstalk, and electromagnetic interference. To extend beyond these distances, use network switches, repeaters, or fiber optic cables.

SUMMARY
Cat6 cables have a maximum recommended length of 100 meters (328 feet) for 1 Gbps speeds without signal degradation. For 10 Gbps speeds, the maximum drops to 55 meters (180 feet). Beyond these limits, signal loss and performance issues occur. Cable quality, shielding, and environmental conditions influence effective maximum lengths. Network extenders or switches are needed to maintain signal integrity beyond these distances.

SUMMARY
Cat6 cables can run up to 100 meters (328 feet) without significant signal degradation under ideal conditions. For 10 Gbps speeds, the limit is 55 meters (180 feet). Exceeding these lengths causes signal attenuation and reduced performance. Factors like cable quality, environmental conditions, and specific applications affect maximum length. Ethernet boosters or repeaters can extend cable length beyond 100 meters when needed.
