Question: Extending physical connections for my Flex 6500

Hello. As I cannot win the war with my XYL I need to move the working position of my Flex about 4 meters away in the same room. That means that it will be desireable to have on my desk just the CW keyer and Flex mike. That means also that the actual grounding and antenna coax cables will need to be extended with about 4 meters. Now the questions are: 1. Extending the grounding and coax cables will have any impact on receive/transmit? 2. Can the mike cable be extended with a simple CAT6 cable? What would be the pinout to follow? The exttension cables can be close to each other or apart due to RF? I only run 80W here.
As a result I will have a clean desktop (most of the times) and most important a very happy XYL.
Appreciate your help. 73

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
