Separate internet for shop

Has anyone been told you were unable to get separate internet for their shop because it was over 175 feet from the cable box?

    Network Interface Unit (NIU)...or Device.

    The max length of RG6 coaxial is 1,000 feet.  No...I've never heard of a 175-foot limitation.

      Ok thanks. Our shop is 270 feet from the green box. We are addressing this again with the construction dept.
