Firmware suitability for extra long cables?

[CoolHube]

The project I am working on requires 2m cables (ordered from Mindsensors). Mindsensors recommends the use of a firmware patch in order to rectify issues with I2C and cables longer than 1m. Is leJOS set up to handle extra long cables as a default? If not, can this be handled in the code for example, does the use of public void i2cEnable(int STANDARD_MODE=0) increase the length of cable that can be used?

I'm gathering data from an HighTechnic Accel Sensor.
