Doepfer

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.
