Hello Share Good,
I think there is a specific reason that the cables have a maximum length till 7 meters. I think longer is not recommended. With the old MXI link (MXI 3) Molex was the manufacturer of cables, you can find more information under the following link;
<a href="http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/5225C91518C67B5486256DA20074A1E3?OpenDocument" target="_blank">http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/websearch/5225C91518C67B5486256DA20074A1E3?OpenDocument</a>
Maybe this supplier can help you further with longer cables.
Best regards,

Hello Share Good,

I'm sorry that my previous message wasn't clear. Molex is a manufacturer of these kind of cables. Maybe they offer a 10 meter solution also for your MXI cable.It's best to contact them for further information.
I don't have any information about repeaters. So contacting Molex is the best solution,
