Data extension cable query

I am thinking of asking the engineer to set up a data extension cable about 5 - 6 metres long as my master socket is placed in conveniently in the hallway.. I had couple of queries about it...
1) Will it have any significant negative impact on net speeds by using a 6 m extension cable?
2) If I feel it has a negative effect on speed will I be able to discard the extension kit and plug in the modem directly to master socket easily?

In my experience the engineer tends to relocate the master socket. If they do then the answer to 2 is 'no'. The extension cable shouldn't have a noticeable impact your speeds though.
