No. The long, thin extension cable was enough of a restriction that the electromagnet couldn't pull enough current from the wall. But a properly sized cord allowed it to function correctly.

That's all you need is a properly spec'd cable to insure proper function. Anything more will add nothing.

I spent a lot of money on my HDMI cables. The longest one cost over $30. I know I could have gotten the same flawless image with a less expensive cable, but I like the company, their principles, and their build quality. So I forked out the extra bucks.
