Hi Dom,
Your best option here is to use 4 pin Speakerlink cables as these are fully shielded to prevent the noise issues - they will also get the Penta displays working!

Afraid I have no idea on this specific thing, but when making up standard RCA terminated interconnects for line level signals, the procedure used was to make a quasi-balanced cable by using a twisted pair for the signal, gnd and hot, with a braided shield over both wires. The shield braid was usually attached to the gnd wire at the end that plugged into the sourcing component, say a preamp, and left unattached to the gnd wire at the other end, usually at the amp, for a preamp/amp connection. On unbalanced RCA plugs, the outside of the plug is usually considered ground, and is connected to the chassis ground of the component, aka the metal case for most setups.
