This is what we do on Team 95. In fact, we usually only use the kit pwm cables for prototyping and pit repairs, everything else is custom pwm cables cut to length to make the wiring neater.

For our long runs this year, we used Cat 5e cable and some RJ45 to 0.1" pin connector breakout boards from SparkFun. I'm rather happy with how that worked out.
