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.
That really depends on the type of cable - there are several. However, the commonly used UTP cable has a limit of 100 meters.

The maximum cable distance of Ethernet over UTP (100BaseTX) is 100 Meters
For thicknet coax ethernet the maximum length for a segment is 500 meters.
For thinnet coax ethernet the maximum length for a segment is 185 meters

100 Meters, or 328 Feet.
500m
Been answered already. 10 megabits/sec.
185 m
The max distance is 100 m.

500m, for 10Base5 thicknet - probably no installations left. For 10base2 thinnet, it's around 185 m - maybe some that have not moved on to twisted-pair of some kind..
100 m
100 meters per segment.

40 m indoor, 140 m outdoor.
Using coax, you just do one long cable run, rather than with twisted pair where you do an individual run for each computer/terminal. Problem? coax's max is 10 Mbit/s, and every computer has to take turns accessing the coax. Using 10 Mbit/s twisted-pair, each computer has its own, dedicated connection to the hub/switch/router, so you're not slowed down when more than one comptuer wants access.
Coax cable is OK for R.F. up to several gigahertz, over medium to short runs. For data, we went to twisted-pair with 100 megabit Ethernet, and twisted-pair is now used in 10 gigabit Ethernet. So... using Nyquist, you can probably use coax cable up to gigabit speeds over medium-short distances, but I'm not aware of anyone doing it. Maybe try a google search.
Using UTP or STP cable, 100 meters per segment.
