Topic: MADI FX breakout cable, use COM-port cable as extension?

Can i use a regular COM-port cable as an extension cable for the MADI FX breakout cable that carries MIDI ans EAS/EBU?

Would it work at all or would i risk damaging something?

It's not ideal, but might work. Simply try it. Cable must have all pins connected.
