Max ethernet segment lengths:

Gigabit Ethernet (over copper), 1000baseT
Length: 100 Meters
Cable: UTP (Cat5 and up ONLY)

Fast Ethernet, 100BaseTX
Length: 100 Meters
Cable: UTP (Cat5 and up ONLY)

Twisted Pair Ethernet, 10BaseT
Length: 100 Meters
Cable: UTP (Cat 3 and up)

Also, you should note that the limiting factor isn't the signal strength, it's the round-trip propagation delay...due to the access method of ethernet (CSMA/CA).
