Then you will have absolutely no problems or signal degradation.. Because as said already its rated up to 100m so 10m is nothing.
If I may ask a quick question, apologies to the Op for butting in

I know this isnt ideal but in my living room Ive boxed off about 4 metres of skirting board to hide the central heating pipes and also have 3 x ethernet, phono, speaker and power cables behind the same conduit.

These are connected at one end to my router and the other to my xbox, ps3 and Sky+ box, question is what kind of interference are you likely to see and what can be done in my circumstances to reduce the likelihood of any future issues.

Would upgrading to cat 6 ethernet cable help as it has extra shielding ?
