    You can extend your ethernet cable beyond 100 meters by adding a switch or a hub in between of both ends.

    You can also opt for Ethernet Extenders. Ethernet Extenders are also known as network extenders which are used to extend an Ethernet segment beyond its normal distance limitation of 100 meters.

    I accomplished it in a low cost way.
    I wanted to extend my LAN to my barn
    where I set up a computer room.
    I tried using wireless signal from my house, but
    found I needed to stick my linksys outside
    to get anything.
    I tried using my low grade telephone cable with RJ45
    connections however, the length was too long for
    the computer LAN card to pick up.

    Finally, I bought a 4 port wireless 3COM router from ebay ($5)
    and connected it in the barn. Now I have 4 ports of 100MBS
    LAN in the barn as well as 11MBS wireless to roam around with.

    Evidently the router is more sensitive than the IBM 10/100 LAN
    card in my computer.
