Bullshit! He's getting to charge you for an extra 12 metres of cable, thats all.
The only offset would be if you ever wanted to relocate those outlets, you'd have slack cable to do it. I generally leave a metre or two of slack in the cable, in case we have to re-route it in the middle for any reason. If cables had to be 15 metres long, why can we use a 6 inch patch cable to join two hubs together?
