No, the higher the frequency used the more loss there is, and remember that light is EM radiation just as RF is albeit at massively higher frequencies. This is more of an issue on copper.
Another issue is signal quality and due to its' nature the coax side of network is vulnerable to noise intrusion causing degredation of the wanted signals.
I'm not going too far into depth that the existing equipment is incapable of supporting ethernet over coax so you'd need to bypass the active parts of the current network
