I guess I am from the old school. I have bought a couple of the heil cables (when they were with the mic I was buying) and overall they disappointed me writh the quality of components and workmanship. Time after time I encounter people running these cables and having issues only to find I bad solder contraction or a breakdown in the plug. This is not a bash on heil mic I have 4 and two head sets , but if you need a adapter cable for a RJ 45 just take a cat five cable cut the plug off one end to needed length and add the desired connector 1/4 female of a male inline 4 or eight pin Foster, yes they are available. If you need a ptt capability comming off the mic for a foot ptt or push button the just bring out a two conductor wire from the top of the inile connector (remember you have ptt on the back of the radio.
Every cat five cable will make two adapter cables. Oh you are worried about RFI ! Well many of the cat five cables are twisted pair and I have run this type connector not only with my flex 3000 and 1500 but also with a vast number of ts 480 and ic 706 Moble at legal limit no RFI . In the shack legal limit alpha 8410 no RFI . You save a lot of money, have a adapter the length you want and have the pride you did it yourself. Avoid the inline fosters that are cast metal they tend to have issues.
