[sdiy] S/PDIF cable.

[Batz Goodfortune]

Y-ellow all.
         Anyone able to give me some advice on what to use for S/PDIF 
cable. Actually more of a choice between less than ideal cables available 
to me right now.

I can chose from the following.
75 ohm coax.
50 ohm coax
or
an assortment of shielded audio-type cable.

The runs have to be 5 or 6 metres in length. I guess I could do it shorter 
as the crow flies but it won't be as neat. (Yeah Ok so 'neat' is a 
subjective term here.) I know AES/EBU is supposed to be 110 ohm on a 
special figure 8 but I can't just run out and buy that anywhere so it's a 
choice of the above.

The S/PDIF runs will actually be running to/from AES/EBU transformer 
coupled I/O 8 in all but the mileage may vary between sources. Some are 
transformer coupled some aren't.

So what can I reasonably get away with? Shielded or 50 ohm coax would be 
ideal because I wouldn't have to butcher any plugs to get the cable to fit. 
But if none of the above are suitable then I guess I have to re-think 
everything.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Be absolutely Icebox.
