[Elecraft] K3 Microphone Cable

[Steve Kercel]

I am getting ready to buy a K3 and a MH-2 hand mike.

Due to the layout of my station, I need to add a 6-foot-long extension 
cable from the K3 mike jack to the actual mike connection. I have the 
necessary connectors on hand. but I'm wondering about the 8-conductor cable.

Is a piece of CAT-5 data cable (four twisted pairs of #24 wire) suitable 
for this purpose? Are there any special precautions I need to observe?
