I need a USB power cable that is about 4 feet longer than the one suppled with camera.  Does Netgear sell longer power cables. or can you recommend an alternative cable brand?

I don't believe Arlo sells a longer cord or certifies any 3rd party power adapters with longer cables.  Adding a 4' power cord would be the easiest solution.  Or switch to an Arlo-Q Plus and use POE.  I'm not sure if you can just power a Q Plus using Cat-5e with a POE injector and still use WIFI for connectivity.  I haven't tried that configuration and it is not documented in the manual.  But if you could connect it to Ethernet, you could power it over Ethernet as well.
