Next question should be:
How fast do you need the ethernet to be?
And, there is a reason for this:
If you have a 200m run, 100Mbits might be unreliable and 10Mbits will be just fine.
Way back (1985) in a factory we had the "backup" site in the rear corner 500m away
and an office in the middle. We ran RG8 cable. Worked fine as 1500m is the max.
Remember, the Ethernet spec was for university campuses and industry.
