Hello everyone, I am changing my ISP and they use fiber based line. I have used fiber based connection previously but this time I have to use about 40 feet of ethernet cable after media converter. So, I want to know whether this would affect any performance?

You don't need to worry unless the cable length is more than 300 feet ;)
