Yeah, you don't want all those electrons to get dizzy.

If you absolutely ~won't~ make a custom length cable of say 55'...
50' stretched is fine, just make sure you have some sort of strain relief near each end to keep it in place.
100' coiled is also fine if the cable is properly shielded (which it should be). Location of the "coil" isn't going to matter. Try to keep the cable away from flourscent lights and power cables/outlets/etc.
If the electrons get dizzy or bunch up in the cable, shake them loose in an Indiana Jones 'Whip crack' motion.

I prefer boxers, but the wife likes me in boxer-briefs. She thinks I have a nice ass.
Argh, now I'm sitting here considering buying a spool of cable and a crimper. It was supposed to be option A or B, dammit! You guys don't play fair!
Speaking of cable, here's an attempt-at-napping destroying math problem... Pick a download speed. If you were to freeze time, how much data is sitting in one (insert favorite unit of measurement here) of that cable?

You need to 'Frame' the question a little tighter. If we're talking 10Mbps, and a cable under 20ft...ONE bit.

CAT-6 - Use 50' pulled tight or 100' with the excess rolled up in the middle? _nt_
