For Audio/PTT/Keying routing and redistribution I used an audio patch
bay.
I also have my K2 I/O routed via the patchbay and one could even route
RS232 via this if required since the K3/K2 only require RXD/TXD and
ground for radio control.

Good quality second-hand patchbays pretty cheap on ebay these days
