I am referring to voltage drop consistency over distance.

Say you are running two 15m cable runs for rear surround speakers. If you run very cheap cable, the amount of voltage, and thus volume, will not be the same across the two channels. In short runs, not enough to notice, but on longer runs you can.

But there is no need for super expensive cable. You just need something durable and consistent enough.
