I am setting up an Arduino Uno with a sonar sensor from Maxbotix (http://www.maxbotix.com/Ultrasonic_Sensors/MB7360.htm). The sensor will be powered directly from the Arduino (5V).

The sensor needs to be about 5 metres from where the Arduino will be located. Will using a wire/cable this long work okay as is? I plan to use a speaker cable or similar. I read the question below, but at no point does the author define what a long cable is...

Long three cables connection: can I use an audio stereo cable?

Am I okay up to 5, 10, 20 metres? What is a "long" cable in this context?
