I'd be very impressed if this works. Normally you can't go more than 16 meters before requiring and active boost (which is basically a 1 port hub or repeater). To do a straight 100 foot is about double the posted max distance so they must be breaking some IEEE specifications for this to work at full speed.

Yes I'd love to have someone test this out. Unfortunately I don't have the slightest idea how to go about measuring it.
