How far is far enough?

I was looking for info for long runs of cat 6 but really didn't find anything conclusive..
This is just an FYI if you were wondering. Everyone knows the limitations of ethernet cable.. 100 meters.
I ran 300 feet of a good quality (all copper) cat 6 cable to a light pole and used an Amcrest outdoor 3Mp POE camera. I powered it with the Amcrest POE+ 8 port powered switch. I was a little concerned but it works like a charm. Very solid connection with no dropouts.

300f is less than 100 meters so its no surprise that it works. There are threads where folks have run 500f+ with no issues.
