@jasonbourne71 Reflection coming from the end of the cable (if any) can deform original edge affecting timing. For 1.5m cable reflection from the end of the cable comes back in 15ns (5ns/m x 1.5m x 2). Even the very beginning of transition (knee) will come back later than 12.5ns (middle of typical 25ns transition), where most likely level change is recognized (threshold), It is all guessing game, since transition time and propagation time in cable can vary. I would go even for 2m, but if you are already short (29 inches) cutting it very short might reduce reflections.
There are also chances that characteristic impedance is matched perfectly and there is no reflection at all.
75 Ohm BNC cable
Hello,
Oyaide DB-510 cable only come in 29 inches. Would it be okay to cut in half and put other BNC end on them? Would it affect any sound quality?
Regards,
Tony
