The problem is that you cannot use such a long cable with a passively 
driven keypad. Do not go over 1-2 feet for reliable results. The keypad 
is supposed to be *very* close to the TS7000. 
If you need to move the keypad far away from the TS you should better 
consider implementing the keypad scanning code in a microcontroller and 
connect it to the TS through a serial port. 
Or find the way to have the TS close to the keypad... 
I guess that you will also want to have an LCD next to them, and the 
LCD does not like long cables either(not longer than 6 inches).
It is not a matter of the kind of cable you are using. It is a matter 
of signal propagation and no cable will work reliably for your lengths.
