I would imagine the standard 90m or 328feet
Standard Cat5 has a maximum segment length of 100m.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable#Maximum_cable_segment_length
The maximum length for a cable segment is 100 m per TIA/EIA 568-5-A. If longer runs are required, the use of active hardware such as a repeater or switch is necessary. The specifications for 10BASE-T networking specify a 100-meter length between active devices.This allows for 90 meters of solid-core permanent wiring, two connectors and two stranded patch cables of 5 meters, one at each end.
