The user may require information on limiting factors when cascading devices via Ethernet.
Resolution
Each meter has a unique IP address, so depending on the network supporting the devices, the number could be extremely large. It is similar to asking how many computers can be on a network. In essence, the network is the limiting factor.
Note: When used for 10Base-T/100Base-TX applications, the maximum allowed length of CAT5/5e UTP cable is up to 100 meters (328 ft).
