Questions?? sg90 servos on LONG cables?

Hi,

Somewhat unusual question from a first-time poster. sg90 servos are popular to use as turnout motors on model railroads due to their low price. We're looking at using them, along with Arduinos for the electronics to control them. But the turnouts won't all be close to each other, plus the fact that I can run 16 servos off a single PWM driver board means that I'm wondering if I can run really long cables to them -- I'm talking about 10m for the longest runs that I'm currently envisaging.

Anyone know if this would cause any problems?

Should the long extension cables be twisted or flat?
