[QUOTE="thylantyr, post: 2200143, member: 560358"] The thing I look for in cables is; 1. Robust contruction so they don't break, ie thicker jacket, thicker wire size. 2. High % shield coverage. 3. Low capacitance per foot. This is the all importance specification. For short runs, lets say less than 50 feet of signal travel, even a cheap cable has low capacitance. If you have large runs, then you really do need to look at cable capacitance as the cable forms a low pass filter between source and destination gear {impedances of those equipment + cable capacitance, determine the cutoff frequency).
