"Is there any performance concerns with either wireless or running cat5 for 50 feet? I don't want to loose any cable speed."
No. CAT5 "speed" is not affected by such. It's rated for 100 Meters.

I am considering cable internet and live in an apartment. My cable access is on the opposite wall from my pc and the cable provider will not run cable to my pc.
I'm trying to decide on either a wireless router or regular router and running cat5 around the room to my pc.
Is there any performance concerns with either wireless or running cat5 for 50 feet? I don't want to loose any cable speed.
Any specific hardware suggestions?
Thanks.
