Hi Jeff,

I use four conductor modular telephone cable.  Flexible, small, very handy.
I use it between paddles and keyers, and also between keyers and rigs (I
bring DC voltage from the rig to the keyer, and take the key circuit from
the keyer to the rig).  With the paddle, I usually use 1/8 inch stereo plugs
and jacks on both ends, and between the keyer and rig I use 4P/4C modular
jacks and plugs on both ends.

I know you asked for shielded, but in 40 years I have never found a need for
shielding on these interfaces.  (No QRO, but I know others that have used
the same cable with QRO setups.)
