Limit on the number of switches you can daisy chain?

[djmy]

I have a wired & wireless network with 50 users at a school. Most are running wireless. I'd like to put move three users to a wired connection (issues with their PC & the wireless card). I don't have dedicated cables to their classrooms. I do, however, have a Cat5 cable running through the rooms. I was thinking I could just splice into that cable, put in a switch, use the switch to continue the original connection, and branch off a new wired connection from the switch. Can I splice a Cat5 cable and daisy chain the connection with switches 3 times - each time branching off at least on new connection?

Obviously not the way you'd plan a network, but can you do this?

Yes. There is a limit to the number of hubs in a segment, but not to switches. The problem was collisions, and switches eliminate (almost) all collisions.

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
