Yeah, it's the same idea.  However if you want to use a truely long cord,
try to find one that is constructed using stranded wire, rather than coiled
tinsel.  Real MaBell cords sometime use the tinsel, which is more durable,
but has a higher resistance.  Also make sure that the cable has all four
wires connected and that when you stick the ends together end-to-end, the
colors match up...
