There are two important factors that affect the maximum length of the cable. One is the data rate for the signal being sent and the other is the cable itself.
A co-ax cable that costs a few cents per foot will normally not have the same performance as one that is a dollar per foot. In general, the larger the diameter of the cable, the lower signal loss it will show for a given distance. All good cables will have a data sheet that sets out the losses for signals of certain frequencies.
Standard definition video needs a far lower data rate than high definition, so when carrying HD content, expect the signal to fail at a shorter distance than SD. As a very. very rough guide, expect SD to cope with several hundred feet of cable. HD may be limited to 100 feet or less for the equivalent cable.
Satellite and cable feeds use higher frequencies than baseband video and so signal loss is more of an issue.
If the cable is to be used as a satellite down feed for example, it is worth calculating the total cable run and asking for advice from a satellite installer. Similarly, many cable companies can offer advice if cable feeds need to be extended.
That all depends on the conditions to which it's exposed.
To extend a coax cable without special tools you will need a second coax cable. You can plug the second coax cable into the end of the first one (the end that is plugged into the wall).
If you are searching for a coax cable to purchase online I would suggest you go purchase one online from Best buy for the best quality, or go to http://www.fairviewmicrowave.com/microwave_rf_cables.htm?gclid=CJOOzZLuoqoCFcbBKgodGE4-Yw
Cable modems use RG-6 coax cables.
coax.
This would depend upon your TV and the receiver and if it has a coax port available on the back. You can use an RG6 coax cable between the receiver and TV. Most newer HD receivers do not have a coax port on the back
The best size is RG 6 coax. However for short runs RG 59 will work.
It's the coax cable used for Thick Ethernet.
For Dish Network, we use RG6 coax cable to allow a higher frequency range for the satellite signal from the dish to your receiver. Any coax cable not rated at RG6 could affect the signal.
Typical coax cable uses a different standard than RCA. You will need to use a converter box.

UTP & COAX cable's are used
No. The cable provider has to authorize the other modem on the network before it can be used, and they will not do that, since they want you to pay for another cable installation.
