Ypu also need to make sure any bends are just that and not acute kinks. If you have to go round a corner make sure the cable takes the longest possible route to do so. i.e make it a long sweeping curve rather than a 90 degree angle. cat5(e) cable can be very easily damaged yet you wouldn't know it by looking at it. While the above is true, it's not relevant to the question.
I would consider the need to provide extra cabling around corners (an increase in length) relevant to the question regarding length.
You mean you can have cables longer than 100M, if you go around corners??? The original question was about maximum cable length, nothing more. While many factors may affect the installation of a cable, he didn't ask about those.
