I want to run a hard line Cat 5 out to my shop. It will be inside PVC.
What is the limits of length of Cat 5 before you start running into
problems? I'd estimate it at 150' run.

Bit late to your query, but i've done this exact thing with a slighly
longer run. I did put a powered hub at both ends.

No problems at all in about five year's use.
