IIRC, the IEEE standard is max 100 meters (328 feet).
That is correct...if you need to go further than that, you can add another
segment, using either a bridge, a router or a hub.

All OfficeConnect Fast Ethernet hubs are Class II. You can directly
connect two Class II Fast Ethernet hubs (Class I hubs cannot be directly
connected to other Fast Ethernet hubs). The total length of cable
100 meters is typical range of UTP cables due to attenuation.
