100 feet maximum is your best bet. I'm using a 100 foot cable now with no problems. If memory serves me right though, 150 feet it about the maximum length you could use, but I wouldn't push it much beyond that without expecting some kinds of problems. Keep in mind that the quality of the cable you're using will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and there are types of RG-6 that are of better quality then others.

There isn't really a limit for cable length. The maximum length is determined by the loss you can afford to lose based on path loss, antenna gain, receiver sensitivity and transmitter power.

The maximum cable length for a serial cable according to RS-232 standards is 50 feet?

50 feet is quoted as a maximum cable length for RS232 but that limit has been extended in practical applications to far longer distances. The practical limit depends on the data rate, the type of cable and the environment in which it is installed. RS232 is being replaced by other communication interfaces so although it can be extended further than the strict limit quoted by the standard, long cables will normally use other methods.

What is the max distance for a coax Ethernet access?

It depends on the type/speed. For 100 mbit/s twisted-pair (CAT5/6), it's 100 metres, for 1000 mbit/s - 1 gBit/s it's also 100 m *with the correct cable* and no sneaky tight bends/ overdone cable ties. The older coaxial cables gave 185 m, 500 m, but these are obsolete. The longest total length for ethernet is 100m, or just a bit over 300 feet. That is for pure cable lengths between any device that would regenerate the signal, such as a switch or hub. The problem is if the signal is to degradded by the time it reaches the device it can't be regenerated properly.

How long can a USB cable be for a USB 1.1 device?

A USB cable (the 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 all have the same limit) is limited to 5m in length. You can make this longer using self-powered hubs (must supply their own power, usually by plugging into a wall outlet) as 'links' in a chain. You may have up to 6 hubs in a chain. This can give you up to 30m length.
