Over the years I've done quite a few CAT5e/CAT6 cables near the 100M/330ft distance limitation without issue.
Friday I pulled CAT5e out to an exterior WAP location (PoE) that showed 308ft on the tester and will be 313ft total with the patch cable.
WAP will be installed sometime this week...
Sounds similar to a job I did a couple of years ago.
300-310ft run of Cat5e with a POE powered WAP at the end.
WAP fired up without issue but started occasionally blinking out after a few weeks. Connectivity was fine with a non POE device at the end of the line, was just losing power. Wound up having to put a local POE injector near the AP, no issues after that.
