What is the length of the new Q-Reader lead between the pulse module and the data logger. I have a long distance (approximately 22m) between the meter (located next to road) and the house and propose to connect the pulse module to the requisite cores of a CAT5e cable (already laid underground) and then connect the Q-Reader within the house where it can connect via z-wave to my hub. Is this proposal possible if the cable is not long enough?

As far as we're aware, the device is designed to work with the cable it is supplied with. Modifying the cable or extending it might work, but there's no guarantee that it will. For example, the voltage drop over such a long distance might mean the pulse sensor doesn't work. Obviously, any modification would invalidate any warranty.
Why not just install the whole energy meter logger where the meter is? Z-Wave shouldn't have any problems with a 22m free-air distance, assuming that you have a decent Z-Wave mesh network with plenty of powered devices.
