Over a certain distance cables signal strength begins to drop off, I guess anything longer than 4ft creates issues, you can always buy an extension usb cable.
I grabbed one off of amazon for 99 cents and it is an extremely high quality cable (suprisingly for that price). No noticeable charge reduction, if any at all.
