I have a couple of 6 inch CAT5e patch leads.

Very useful for patching routers and hubs together

There are no short limits in the spec, but I've seen some speculation that
less than 0.5 metres may cause issues due to not enough twists to prevent
cross-talk.

Could well be bollox - I'm not an electrical engineer (anyone?)

In the comms room where I used to work, we regularily used 1m Cat5e cables
to interconnect between hubs, switches and patch panels when the chips were
down. Always got full speed (100Mbps) out of them.

(Sorry...)

I have seen some sort of minimum distance on cables, it may have been
for 'crossover' cables only though.  It's not a problem for me, all my
cables are 5m minimum.  (My memory is suggesting 2ft, not 2m, for the
minimum distance, though, and few people wil have cables that short.)

Ha, like it :-) If it gets that bad, it's time to go home :-)

That rings a bell ... not sure why. I know I've used a 1ft Cat5e cable and
everything still ran fine.

There is that but from what i can remember from a year at uni i dont think
this would become a problem uless your transfer huge files. In which chanse
things might lock up and the computers will have to resend data due to
corruption. This might slow down the speed of the actual transfer but i dont
it could be as detremental as to slow it down to 10mbs.

To muddy the waters a bit I've got 2 very short leads (6-8 inches) in
my network, made from flat cable with RJ45 plugs at each end & it
appears to have little effect on speeds etc, the network is running
100base full duplex, the leads are between 3 different pieces of
equipment all stacked together on a shelf (CM, Router & Print
Server)....

And why so short, well I was being taken over by the creeping tide of
wires so had to do something...

I'm not recommending, I'm just commenting on what works for me at the
moment (until I find something better)....

That's absolute rubbish.. !!!  you can obtain speeds of 100Mbps on a CAT5
cable up to I believe 100m. I may be wrong here..  but I know for sure that
2m is most definately wrong...

I have a 130ft cable in my house that has no problem transferring at 100mbps

Transfer speed depends on network conditions. If it's set up ok.. it will be
fine.

You are spot on for the 100 MB over 100 meters... 10Mb can go upto 300
meters ( not recommended without a hub or a booster)

In article <9qd7of$1o @plutonium.btinternet.com>,
bestsyst @btinternet.com says...
Better tell it to my client who is running 100MBit over a 50 metre cable
run from the Hub to wallsocket. There is a total of about 90-100metres
running from the hub.

Um i personally wouldnt wanna take 10 mbps over a 100m as laid down in the
ieee standards.
node length should be a max of 100m including patch cables at either end !!

Cheers Beebok..

Incidently, Neil... If you ever do want to go over 100m, you'd need a
network amplifier of sorts..
