The PX0843 series: around 10 bucks each. I don't think this is worth fretting over considering the application and the one-off project.

There was already a cable supplied with the camera with 5 cm untwisted end with custom connector. And it worked... We will see...

"It worked" is relative and depends on many variables. Spread/untwisted data pair leading to improper impedance, thus signal reflections is just one of them. It all adds up: line impedance mismatch, signal loss in long cable and connectors, outside interference sources. When your signal is impaired/weakened *and* there is RF noise nearby - then you may get errors.
