10m optical cable worth doing?

[alandbush]

Hi - am looking to wire up my dialogue and phantoms with Ethernet cable 

I understand how to do hit this no probs - but in order to decide if I keep my dialogue near the router or near the speakers - does anyone know if a 10m optical cable between source and dialogue or phantoms will perform fine compared to a shorter cable?

Thanks

I use 5m optical cables to white and silver Phantoms.  Nothing special.
Happy with result but then, I do not obsess about sound quality.
I also use 5m Ethernet cables.

Of course, you could also use fibre optic for Ethernet via appropriate adaptors.
There are Computer Audiophile threads discussing this and I have seen posts detailing success with fibre optic lengths of 15+m.
