There is virtually no current flow in these, so it's more a case of using a mechanically strong enough cable.

As long as it is high quality, then no problem. The best stuff that is reasonably priced is Tefzel. www.skygeek.com has it, but it can get a little spendy.

You don't need to spend a fortune on so called special cables. Microphone cable - the balanced sort - will do very well.
