how long rj 45 cable can use
I use Rj45 cable to make network connection 100 meter I can go to internet it is very slow compare with another computer in the same network that use cable long 10 meter This problem come form cable long or not how can I check it
100 meters is the MAXIMUM a cable can be. Beyond that (and probably nearing it) you'll lose signal strength and thus speed. You can put a switch or hub in the middle of two 50 meter cables and get better results or if you have to have such long runs, try either Cat6 cable (may not help) or use a Fiber cable - much more expensive, but with distance limits FAR above that of copper CAT5/6 cables. And of course you'll need the equipment to connect a fiber cable to.
yes 100 meters is theoretical maximum I'd suggest 75 meters is realistic maxumum
cat6 also is 100 meters
You may get a slightly longer cable by using stp instead utp
but fibre or repeaters is the only real way to get long cable runs

u can test your cable using a LAN Tester and pinging from the server like this
ping -t <ip address of the client computer>
and see after how many packets a packet is dropped
what do u use a switch or a hub if u use a hub you migh exp. weak connectivity however it should be ok with a switch.
and IanTh is right u should use a repeater or a swicth in between afetr 75 metres or even 50 metres if possible.
or use stp a better option

yes and another though shielded stp may be a bit better
