of the digital DMX signal.

quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

cables will “probably” be OK, but note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distances.
In any event, the cable should have the following characteristics:
2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield
Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.
Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield – 55 pF/ft.
Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.
Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms
