You can go to at least 100 feet. I can't remember all the specs, but maybe farther. If you're going to couple two cables, it would seem to me the second cable should NOT be a crossover, because you've already applied a crossover. Using another crossover would either put the whole setup back to "uncrossed", or worse. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I have my two computers networked together and finaly got Internet Connection Sharing to work. I am now ready to move the second computer to another part of the house. I have a 25 foot crossover cable but need it to be at least 35 feet. My local computer store tells me that I can buy a coupler and add another crossover cable to it. Will this work? Has anyone had experience with connecting two of these cables together? If I do this, will I have any networking problems or will I lose speed with my internet connection?
