The distance limitations of full-duplex links are only limited by the medium, and not the round-trip delay. Since most Gigabit Ethernet is switched, their values in terms of modal bandwidth, maximum distance, and to the medium used in Gigabit Ethernet are the practical limits between devices or to a Cloud Hosting or a Website Hosting that has a Dedicated Server on it. Daisy-chaining, star, and extended star topologies are all allowed. The issue then becomes one of logical topology and data flow, not timing or distance limitations.

A 1000BASE-T UTP cable is the same as 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX cable, except that link performance must meet the higher quality Category 5e or ISO Class D (2000) requirements. It is recommended that all links between a station and a hub or switch be configured for Auto-Negotiation to permit the highest common performance. This will avoid accidental misconfiguration of the other required parameters for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation.
