I am using the GRV-CSERi-4 and the MODBUS device to which I will connect specifies Beldon 9729 cable. Can I use two pair from a shielded CAT6 cable?

That cable should work with the GRV-CSERi-4 serial module.
The datasheet has also information on max. cable length and Bus termination on page 4.
It somewhat depends on the baud rate, the distance the device is from the serial card, if there are other serial or communications being run on the same cat6 cable and the electrical noise profile that the cable is run through.
But, I tend to agree with @gerhardK , if its not too extreme in any of those, it should work just fine.
Thanks gerhardK and Beno!
