Why is cat6 required for long cable runs?

I'm glancing over a Ubuiquiti airFiber radio starter guide and it says

"outdoor shielded 5e or above cabling should be used for all wired Ethernet connections. Category 6 is required for installations with long cable runs (up to 100m)."

Aside from being better at reducing crosstalk and having a speed cap at 10gbps what is the advantage for using cat6 for longer runs? I'm curious because it's mentioned as a 'requirement' not just a suggestion.
