I have a 130 meter Cat 6 cable run. The computer does not get the signal at the end. Has anyone achieved a 130 meter ethernet cable run? If so, did you amplify the signal? Is there such a thing as an amplified high powered hub? I am having problems and no signal. Any suggestions?

Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable has a MAX lenght of 100 meters. The easiest thing to do is cut it in half and at that point add a switch. The switch will then allow another 65 meters and you should be good to go. Just make sure you are following good cable routing practices -- avoiding electrical cables etc.

Allegedly, all Cat cables are limited to 100 meters. At that distance you might not get 100mb speed - it will go down to 10mb. I've had no luck amplifying the signal (read: expensive). Best bet is to have a very simple switch or router placed at about the midpoint of the 130 meter run. Cat 6 has better shielding than Cat 5e.
Good luck!

i take advantage of Gigabit and bypass approximately 2 to 3 circumstances faster. If i'm doing multiple records circulate, then i take advantage of cables and close the prompt OFF (in any different case, it might possibly no longer use the cable)

*confused look* Cat-6? No such thing...
You should use a repeater.
