Gate cables even longer than 10 meters usually are no problem.

CV-Cables of this length may(!) have a slight loss depending on the
electrical characteristics of the input and the output. I use 10m cables
between my Doepfer and the Roland System 100. It is very difficult to
judge whether the not completely clean octave tracking is caused by the
cable or the System 100.

Real loss of signal quality starts with asymmetric audio cables at such
a length.

And you have always to keep in mind that electromagentic and
electrostatic influences (humm and sizzle) can affect longer cables more
than shorter cables.
