The specs say 100m for ethernet cable length, including POE. You can go over 100m, sometimes quite a LOT more without fancy extenders, etc but it's a bit of a gamble. It's like the best before date on bread. Best before 100m, not bad after 100.00m. Some folks have had good luck up to 200m or a bit farther, but how far you can go depends on cable quality, your equipment, and a bit of luck, kinda like a gentleman's chances with a lady's mood at any given time...
