    The cable linking your PS2 and your router is most likely of the cat5 or cat5e variety using the ethernet protocol. Typically the maximum length of a cat5 cable is around 100 meters (330 feet) without a sharp degredation of performance(speed). You can use longer cords however you must expect a loss of speed/connectivity. Using cat5e cables will result in longer acceptable segments, however only marginally. For maximum performance suggested length is 10 meters (33 feet).

    However for a PS2 the effective limit would be closer to ther 100meter mark (perhaps beyond) because the ps2 will not require the full bandwidth afforded by the ethernet cable.
