I read it hear somewhere but now I can't seem to find it. I have a Brown Note with a built in buffered effects loop. I was thinking of picking up a TC Electronics Nova System which would require me to run long cables to/from the send/return.

A brief why would be appreciated and if so, where can I purchase said special cords? Thanks in advance.

I believe you may be referring to low capacitance coax like these.  http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/elpages/coaxialcableconnectors3.php 
But what you read is those talking about the short runs to and from their non-buffered loop on the amp to the buffered loop (ie: C-lator/D-lator) outside the amp. Also I beleive they may also use them in short runs to and from the effects in the buffered loop. But only short runs. This is done to try to micro-manipulate loss and also frequency response.

It would be my opinion that in your situation dealing with long runs to and from your effects that just a good quality relatively low capacitance shielded guitar/instrument cable would be the thing to use.
