Yes. That length is within specification for a gigabit link.

Any unmanaged gigabit switch with good ratings on Amazon should be fine... Netgear | TP-Link

We got just Viasat the technician said splitters won't work that if wanted to add more devices we need to buy a switch. I need to buy a 14 port switch to hook up all the devices (3 gaming PC, 4 other PC, Roku/ apple tv box?) I ran 5 cat6 Ethernet wires so far raging form 50-75 feet each is it okay if the other rooms get 150 feet wire. For the switch I don't know what brand to get.
