Even 10 m (30 feet) is a very short distance in relation to the wavelength (hundreds of meters), and most impedance effects only become relevant when you get close to half a wavelength.
It has nothing to do with wavelengths or Radio Frequency Characteristic Impedance. It's about low frequency end-to-end resistance. It's about power line caused leakage currents.

Leakage Current Effect - A Calculated Example
• A 25-foot cable (foil shield, #26 AWG drain wire) has an end-to-end shield resistance of 1 Ω
• Measured leakage current between the ungrounded devices is 316 μA (well under the UL limit of 750 μA)
• From Ohm’s law, noise voltage E = I x R = 316 μA x 1 Ω = 316 μV
• Consumer −10 dBV reference level = 316 mV
• Signal to Noise ratio = 20 x log (316 mV⁄316 μV) = 60 dB
• This is 35 dB worse than an audio CD!
• Same length of Belden #8241F cable, with its shield resistance of only 0.065 Ω, makes S⁄N 84 dB, an improvement of 24 dB!
From a noise perspective, shield resistance is the most important parameter of all.
How many times have you seen it specified on a data sheet or in advertising hype?
I rest my case about clueless manufacturers!
