Yesterday I built a 5 foot long cable using 6P6C connectors and
some telephone grade flat cable with pin 1 clipped at each end.
(I identified which pin was #1 by measuring the Elecraft
supplied cable.) It seems to work fine, but I haven't used it
enough for those little hidden problems to show up.
If I need to move to twisted pair to get better isolation
(thanks Jim), I will need to identify which wires to twist
together. From Harry's pin out below, it looks like twisting
pins 3&4 (Ground and Data) as well as pins 5&6 (Clock and VCC5)
should do the trick.

Anybody in this group, using a different length data cable
supplied with the k-pod??The cable uses two 6P6C modular male
connectors, and requires 5 conductors..
Elecraft supplies a 36" long cable??
I would need longer cable....but wondering if the Pod will be working
correctly???

A little info for those wanting to make longer cables
As I understand it the Elecraft connector is a Modified MPLAB IDC 2 In-Circut
Programming connector
Here are the pin outs as I read them
1 Unused - MCLR, Low to reset CPU
2 +5 vDC - VCC5
3 Ground - VSS
4 Data - PGD
5 Clock - PGC
6 +5 vDC - VCC5
