Cat6 Max Distance Calculator
Max distance, voltage drop, and heat limits for Cat5e, Cat6, and PoE cable runs.
Quick Answer
Standard Cat6 cable is certified for 1 Gigabit speeds up to 100 meters (328 ft). Beyond this, speed may degrade or fail.
Standard Compliance
TIA-568 standards limit channel length to 100 meters (328 ft). PoE voltage drop depends on cable resistance (AWG size) and device current draw.
Hint
Determine Cable Length and PoE Standard to see power delivery.
