Normally the base-t standards are rated for 100m, so you will be fine. 

 

For ethernet, speed runs at one of the given link speeds(like 10gbe, 1gbe, 100m), and unless you have errors or dropouts, it will run at that speed.

thx so much!

If the distance exceeds ten feet, you might be better off upgrading to no lower than a Cat6 cable instead for the added protection and theoretical speed.

Thank you for this input. Is CAT 6 more expensive?

Not really, I got me a Cat6a cable on Amazon for ten bucks. Its mainly the length of the cable that determines the price.
