I wouldn't, order a new one from your business partner.

MUST be 1M screened cable

If you want support if you have issues then ensure you use the 1m blue cable. However I have previously used an expansion module on the end of a standard cat5e 30m cable before with no issues.

Worst case a standard shielded 1m patch lead would be fine as well.

I am sure it is just a shielded cat 5e cable but you can get the official one for about USD20 which could save you a lot of grief.

1 Ft Cat5e. You could make one out of shielded if you have it. I have used regular 1m cat5e parch cords and never had a problem.

Although this uses RJ45 ports it isn't Ethernet and probably why shielding is needed.

It isn't a "magical" cable =)
Just get a shielded network cable, non-shielded works as well but a bit paranoia doesn't hurt.

& we had a 412 using 3 M cables that was very flaky until it was corrected YMMV.
