longer cable lengths have greater signal attenuation
The degeneration of a signal over a distance on a network cable is called attenuation. It does not have any relation with decibels. The strength of signal just gets reduced.

optical fiber
It is the loss of data from the coaxial cable during transmission .
For any Cat 5 cable, the maximum segment length is 100 meters per segment.
Attenuation
Attenuation occurs in all copper cable regardless of whether it is twisted or not. This is because the copper atoms actually 'resist" the electrical voltage being applied (a physics principle).

The Monster Networking Dataspeed Network cable is available as short as 7 feet and as long as 100 feet.
There are a number of reasons for packet loss; bad cabling, bad ports, too many collisions on the network, attenuation in the cable, bad routes, etc.
