They certainly seem to be more sensitive than Ethernet Cables
They are.
5 m is max for USB, 15 ft is pretty close to this max
Ethernet allows for 100m.
You might try a USB2 certified cable.
The 15 ft cable might work in other circumstances e.g. driving a printer but in this case we talk bulk mode. If there is an error, there will be a retry. In case of audio it is isochronous mode so no retry.
It is thinkable that the cable does a bad job but in bulk mode this is harder to detect (low throughput)
