LAN:LAN stands for "Local Area Network".It can consist of 1 or two adjacent building i.e offices.The maximum length of Local area network is 100 meter.As it cross 100 meter there begins Attenuation. How ever if we are using cat-5 or cat-6 STP(shielded twisted pair cable than its range can be more than 100 meter.
