Yeah, it works if you shorten the wire, and expose the antenna inside the coaxial just the same length it was originally.
I'm not sure does it affect the range.

You can also look for used laptops, disassemble those and then take Wlan coaxial cables from those. Same connector and the wire is a bit thicker.

My buying tips is to get the original receiver cable from HK shops, or the aftermarket (cheaper, shorter) grey one available there also.
