In a Token Ring network, when using Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, the maximum distance a computer can be from the Multi-Station Access Unit (MSAU) is 100 meters. This is an improvement over Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, which is limited to 45 meters. The increased distance capability of STP is due to its shielding, which reduces electromagnetic interference.
