A good rule is to keep it under 300 feet, but it also
depends on how many bends or twists you put into the
wire. When you place bends / twists, it changes the
characteristics of the cable and also remember don't
over stretch the cable. There's many other factors
involved also; does the wire go by a machine that
creats alot of electrical interference etc.
If you're looking at a 100 feet, then you'll be fine
as long as you don't stretch, bend or damage the
cable.
