I find this interesting because I too contacted them and asked for a longer cable and got a message back from engineering that is would cause EMI issues. I didn't try it so I asked Bestconverer and they said they have been begging for a longer cable too but they just won't do it. This was on the 4600 series which they now make a pendant for BTW with the correct connector.
I suspect that's mostly CYA on the part of Progressive Dynamics. If they had much reason to worry about EMI, their supplied connection lead would not be unshielded, non-twisted pair telephone wire.
All I know with absolute certainty is that, so far, it has worked perfectly for me with my ca. 6 foot addition of cat-5 cable spliced into the factory wire, and I don't expect anything else in the future unless there's some actual physical problem (a broken connection or whatever).
I think its great DrewE. It's a pain to splice that rascal but know it can be done with patience.
