Don't know what this Bitcoinsupermo guy is talking about. I haven't been able to find a bad Chinese usb 3.0 cable yet. When you use them for risers, the data runs through them, not power. So, it's a different issue then power cables.
Any decent usb 3.0 (not 2.0!) is going to work up to 60cm (I needed 1m once and had no problem either).
