RCA vs Phono cable

I have a 30+ year old Pioneer PL-560 turntable in perfect working condition (Shure M97XE cartridge/stylus) My Primare preamp has no TT connections so I just bought the Graham Slee Gram Amp2 SE phono stage with a PSU1 (should arrive Thursday). I will need a pair of interconnects to connect the phono stage to the preamp so I bought a used pair of Synergistic Research Level 1 UEF Atmosphere (RCA) 5ft/1.5m Interconnect cables. Then I saw info on "phono cables." Is there a difference? If yes, what? Should I have bought a phono cable instead of an RCA or a shorter RCA ?

PS. I’d spend a lot less on a cable than on a turntable and cartridge. In fact, you might try this cable if you don’t get a better mid-range with what you have.

Last question, yes. As in don't try it with your non-78 stylus. I think you can get a 78 stylus for your cartridge.
