My metric has never been good.... But Hal is correct. (328') It should be known that this includes the patch cords as well, and at lengths like that 22ga isn't a bad idea.

A multi-mode fiber pair will easily make that distance. (<1kM or 3280') However, if you haven't done this before, it may be more cost effective to sub it out. Mis-handling could make it a huge waste of time and money.

Another creative option is if you have phone service at both locations look into a fractional T-1 package, or even in-house T-1 carrier. Like if it were in a different building / campus situation. Even in the same building it can be more cost effective if using other features offered with package deals. Phone service at both, and an IP address for networking at each. With an in-house T-1/E-1 carrier as opposed to ethernet 10 baseTX you could run as long as you like, so long as you can get wire there. And it is more appropriate for a back-bone situation.
