30 feet, in 2015. And we did end the canbus there (had to find the right resistor for it too).
Related notes, from discussions with CTRE and beta testing the CAN BUS is fixed at 1Mbps (raw rate, not payload) and will not auto negotiate down. I don't think this has changed since then.
Related note if I'm understanding the CAN spec correctly, if a star configuration is used, the termination resistor values need to change so the effective resistance is still ~100 ohms. This would be interesting in conjunction with the fixed values inside the roboRIO & PDP.
