In a post long ago, 2 meters was posted by Elecraft, as the max end-end length of the ACC cabling (two sections of stock cable).  Cabling longer than that /MAY /affect the signal timing, causing errors (their words).  I ran my temporary station that way (for a couple years) until I got the new shack room built and had no issues with cabling.

The cost of the proper cable from Elecraft is reasonable or there are other sources (at your own risk).  You bought a Ferrari of a radio, are you going to cripple it with questionable tires?  Don't cheap out, do it right.

I also agree, the N6TV boxes (and cables) simplify the wiring (not neaten to any great extent but it helps, it's great but not miraculous :-P) .  If you go that route, Bob will work with you for the proper pieces based on your needs.  Neatness helps minimize noise and other issues too.

In my book, get an N6TV Y-Box V3, he can supply proper cables of any
length.

I have the older style thick heavy cable from Elecraft for connection
between the K3 and the KPA amp. It is just a little too short to fit my
application. What is the best way to extend its length without  any pin
conflicts to the missing pins? Can a standard VGA cable be used on the K2
side?
