Data Corruption from Sensors with Long Wires

Hi all,

Generally, when do you need to be worried about losing data from having long wires from your sensor to your Arduino board?

For example, I've been looking at two sensors.

Sensor 1: MLX90614
Sensor 2: SainSmart Max6675

I need to monitor the temperature of 12 objects. It would be nice to have one Arduino board with wires leading to either sensor 1 or 2, depending on the one I pick. But I'm worried that I might have data corruption / decay over the long wires. The length needed will probably be around 5 - 10 feet.

Google "i2c distance" and it give information that it can be used at over the distance you want.
