Belkin do a 9m / 30' twisted pair RJ11-RJ11 extension, that would be
fine.

It all depends how weak your signal is, if you can only just scrape a
connection in the master socket a poor quality long extension could
take it out, but if you have a good signal with reasonable extension
cable you are adding a few metres onto a few km and it should be no
big deal.
