Not true.  The purpose of a ferrite core on the cable is to help in reducing
radiation to meet FCC Part 15 rules requirements.

As the cable gets longer the capacitance between the video leads and ground
increases and will degrade the video response if the cable exceeds a
critical length.

Depending on the cable construction, usable lengths will differ.  I doubt if
you will find any commercially available cable that will allow acceptable
performance at 30 meters.

Now if you installed amplifiers along the way you could attain a distance of
30 metesrs,
