what type of coaxial cable do I need

I want to move my modem to the other side of the room, about 25 feet.  What are the specifications I need to make sure I maintain the same internet speed/quality?

Good morning @user_cuga63 Thank you so much taking the time to reach out to us here on the Xfinity Forums. We can certainly take a look into scheduling an appointment to get the modem moved. A technician would need to come out and determine if the equipment can be relocated without an impact on the service. 

Please send us a DM with your full name and address to Xfinity Support.

If you do it yourself, you will save the $100.00 charge for the tech visit.
