The IEEE standard (IEEE 1394) limits the overall length of a FireWire cable to 4.5 m (15'): http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2952
Longer cables are sold but may not work.
If you need a greater length, powered "extenders" are available such as this one: http://www.networktechinc.com/pdf/1394-extender.pdf
What is it you have that needs such a long cable. If you post what you need to do, someone here may have an alternate solution.
