I'd be more concerned with your NIC than the cable. To get the absolute best speeds you should have a 2.5Gb or better NIC and connect to Port 1 of your SuperHub. Any old Cat5e cable should let you get a 2.5Gbit link over that distance.

Over a 1Gb Ethernet connection you can expect speeds of around 940Mbps, but over a 2.5Gb connection you will be able to max out your speeds somewhere around 1,150Mbps.
