Another point. Ribbon cable is TERRIBLE for RFI susceptibility. Twisted
pair is FAR superior IF each signals is on a pair. CAT5/6 is four
tightly twisted pairs, 100 ohm impedance, each a different twist ratio
to minimize crosstalk. I don't know anything about how the K-Pod uses
that cable. For RFI, twisting is more important than shielding.

If you decide to try a
longer ribbon cable first and are not interested in making your own, buy an
RJ45 cable and F-F coupler to extend the Elecraft cable.
