The industry standard is 100m. You can probably get away with longer but 100m will give you as close to 100 percent reliability. You can increase that by another 100m by adding a hub, repeater or switch and so on.

I know often I hear they don’t like running network cables like Cat5E or
Cat6 more than 100m (321').

The issue with cable length is timing. I'm not the expert, but we ran into this 20+ years ago using Ethernet to carry audio in large pro systems.
