Re: ethernet
That's pretty long so you would have to make sure you have quality CAT-5e or CAT-6 cable, and quality connectors. If the cable attenuates the signal too much, data packets will have to be retransmitted, which has the effect of slowing the system down.

Re: ethernet
Ethernet cable will work fine up to 100 meters, so you should be fine.
