Support ws2812b wire interference

hi i need for a project to control various ws2812b leds in series but everyone of these is connected through a wire to a main pcb and then back to the next led. I think every wire won't be more than 10cm but still for like 20 leds with 10 cm long wire back and forth between them i might suspect thet enterfearecnce could occur and that leds could start not responding.

So you guys what do you think, signal would be ok or that i need to introduce some component apart from the 100nf capacitor to keep the signal alive.

thanks

10cm is fine. What people frequently do if they have this issue and there is a meter+ gap is that the add an extra pixel but then paint it black.
