I have had 10base2 up to 300 metres in the early days when the sparky who
was brought in to run the cable didn't know what he was doing and thought
"I'd better leave some slack in the roof space, just in case".  It might
have worked with power cables, but once the segment started to get loaded
the collisions weren't being propgated fast enough so down the network
went.  I put a TDR onto the segment and swore never to employ that sparky
again.
