The range is effectively unlimited because multiple active components can extend the range to nearly any range.
The maximum allowable segment length on a 1000BASE-T network is 100 meters (328 feet) for the twisted-pair cabling, which typically uses Category 5e or Category 6 cables. This length includes any patch cables and horizontal cabling between the network devices. Exceeding this distance can result in signal degradation and performance issues.
The maximum segment length specified by the 1000BASE-T standard is 100 meters (328 feet) when using Category 5e (Cat 5e) or higher unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling. This length includes the total length of the cable run from the switch or router to the endpoint device, accounting for any patch cables used in the installation.
The term 1000base t describes gigabit Ethernet over copper wiring. It states that the network segment can be only 100 meters in length and has to use a category 5 cable.

The maximum number of nodes per segment in a network segment typically depends on the specific network technology or protocol being used. For example, Ethernet networks typically have a maximum of 1024 nodes per segment. However, it's important to consult the documentation or specifications of the specific technology being used to determine the exact maximum number of nodes per segment.

It is true. The book says "The maximum distance a signal can travel and still be interpreted accurately is equal to a segment's maximum length. Beyond this length, data loss is apt to occur."
The IEEE 802.3 standard governs Ethernet networks, specifying the maximum length of cable segments and the number of devices that can be connected. For traditional 10BASE2 (Thin Ethernet), the cable segment length is limited to 185 meters with a maximum of 30 devices. For 10BASE5 (Thick Ethernet), the cable can be up to 500 meters, but the total number of devices is typically similar. Ethernet standards have evolved, with modern implementations like 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T using twisted pair cabling and allowing for different configurations.
For use in networks the maximum segment length would be 500 meters
