Cat5e cables usually start dropping packets at around 300 feet. So if one wanted to run 500 feet of cat5e cable and not have data loss or lose data speed, can they run 300 feet, then connect that to a switch and run 200 more feet from that switch without losing any or much data or losing speed? Would it be less than if they were to run 500 feet of cable directly with no breaks? Just curious.
