Should I run a 25 foot Ethernet or Coaxial cable?

Hello,

One side of the room has the main UPS and the other side has the coaxial jack currently hooked up to the modem and router. I would like to have the modem and router plugged into the UPS.

I was curious if running a 25 foot coaxial cable to the other side would degrade the internet performance at all? I was thinking maybe the signal would drop by running a 25 foot cable from the wall jack.

If that's the case then I wouldn't mind just leaving the modem hooked up to the jack and running a 25 foot Ethernet cable to the router on the other side.

What are your recommendations and opinions? Thanks.
