Default Long serial cable

I need a longish serial cable to get from the workshop computer to the
bench. Say 4 mtr. I already have the D connectors and wonder what would be
the most suitable cable I have 'in stock' Only need the send and return -
no 5v. Would balanced mic cable do - or two co-ax? I do have some decent
video co-ax but two would be a bit big to fit the D connector shells.

Mic cable - I've used star quad for countless serial cables, both RS232
and RS422.
