You can make your network cable upto 100M long, if i remember correctly, anything over that and you need a repeater.

You are correct, however the 100m limit refers to the maximum length from origin to final destination, thus the longest cable run on your network should actually be no longer than 90m to allow for any other patch cables or cross connects.

Mike was also correct that in order for an Ethernet cable, whether indoor or outdoor, to extend past the recommended limit of 100m... a repeater is required. Active hubs and repeater devices can greatly extend the range of an Ethernet network.

Of course, all these limits are only recommendations due to the fact that Ethernet is specifically designed to function over a distance of about 100m (327 feet). That being said... some networks operate successfully with Ethernet segments that exceed 100m or more (no repeaters). Of course when exceeding 100M, reliability and performance may suffer greatly, and results can vary from one cable to the next. So it's definitely a good idea to stick to the specifications!
