I'm no expert, but I would think that the max length is governed only by the length of cable you can buy (of course, if the cable was several miles long you might have problems, but I doubt you're thinking of anything that long).

If you mean the UTP network cable you can run it up to 100m but you should be aware of running UTP network cables between seperate buildings on seperate power supplies! Twisted Evil
