Use 25 foot cord with solar panel?

[GaryFx]

We’re considering the solar panel for the Ultra, and we noticed some gutter mounts for it on Amazon. These look easier than drilling into our vinyl siding, but the problem is the gutter is just a bit too far away. 

None of the pictures show how the solar panel cord connects with the solar panel. So the question is whether the 25 foot cord (or something cheaper) works with the solar panel?  In other words, does the solar panel use a standard USB socket for the cord?

The cable is wired into the panel (not removable).

One challenge with long cables is the voltage drop due to the resistance in the cable.  A longer cable would need to use a heavier gauge wire (especially with a low-power source like the solar panel).
