So on this question, it asks what error condition can be immediately ruled out, when troubleshooting a LAN interface operation in full duplex mode. The answer it gives, collisions, is the best answer of those given, however, wouldn't collisions still be a possibility if the LAN segment exceeds the max cable length? Just a couple weeks ago at work, in fact, we had this issue where an end user was connected to their access switch using an Cat5 cable that was probably about 20 - 30 feet over the max length, and they had collision issues.
