Why such a small gage wire on a power supply? I would be thinking 16 awg would be a better choice. Also the principles of signal wire do not apply to power cable. The shield and drain you should reconsider.
I really think changing the source would have a more profound effect than 2 feet of wire. But you're the expert.
Also you need to revisit your voltage calculator. You put in 3 amps as your load current, a pretty large load (look on your CATV box and see if it gives a number, I don't think it would be anywhere near 3 amps). That number is in fact the available source current(continuous or peak?). The voltage drop in the case you put forth is actually negligible.
