I cannot seem to find a reliable source for longer bridge cables that will ship to canada for the uhk60 v2 with the reverse/cross-over pinout. The uhk website suggestion Can I have a longer bridge cable? - Ultimate Hacking Keyboard only ships to the usa. Does anyone know where i can get rj9 4p4c cables that are >= 1.5 feet unstretched that will ship to canada? Spiralled is ok as long as the unstretched length is >= 1.5 feet. Thank you
It’s difficult to find reverse-wired 4P4C cables that aren’t coiled. If you do go with coiled, I wouldn’t advise the stretched-out length to go over 9.8 feet (3 meters). The shorter, the better.
It may be easier (but kinda pricey) to make your own. Just snip one end off of a straight-through wired cable & slap on a new connector in reverse. I have a huge roll of telephone cable and some 4P4C connectors, so I just terminate my own cables for both the UHK60 and UHK80. I also sleeve them with some paracord & tecflex to color match my devices.
Anyway, you could make a handful of cables yourself for under $50. You don’t really even need the crimper tool, it just makes it easier.

Also, If I’m not mistaken, I think most landline phone handset cables are crossover wired (the cable that goes from the handset to the base, not the wall-jack to the base, BTW).
This aliexpress listing is still live (I assume it ships worldwide including canada):
