VPI Scout 1.1 distance from phono-pre

I just received a VPI Scout 1.1 and want to locate it further from the rest of the system. Does anyone have experience with longer runs 5-10ft ? I assume the scout has some kind of amplifier on the tonearm. I know that keeping it close to the phono-preamp and then do the run from there would be the best move, but what if I wanted to run 5ft of cables between the pre and the scout ? Thanks in advance. What kind of cables is another discussion I haven't bought anything fancy yet but am open to recommendations. Thanks !

No. I think you may be confusing the block with the RCA terminals on it with some type of active device. Its just a clean way to terminate and mount the end of the tonearm cable.
