    Quoting from Wikipedia:

    1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring.

    Each 1000BASE-T network segment can be a maximum length of 100 meters (328 feet), and must use Category 5 cable or better (including Cat 5e and Cat 6).

    So it's 100 meters (328 feet).
