Different length digital cables all true 75 ohms?


How can the same digital cables from a manufacturer but at different lengths both be true 75 Ohms?

After reading how 1.5 metre is the optimum length for digital cable regarding jitter I'm worried the longer run would create higher resistance and therefore not be true 75 ohms. Shouldn't the manufacturer increase the size of the conductor(s) the longer it is?

Thank you Al for clearing that up for me. I guess I don't have to worry about it, unless I suppose it was some stupid long length cable.
I was thinking about your last statement regarding the square root of a cables inductance divided by the capacitance gives the impedance.

Many high and low end cable manufacturers will use the same cable that they use in their interconnects and speaker cables in their digital cables and are probably not 75 ohms. I wonder how many actually make the effort to alter the cables inductance capacitance or inductance to make it 75 ohms.

Also how many audiophile cable companies actually use near true 75 ohm RCA connectors. I understand some of the pedestrian cable companies actually use Canare RCA connectors which are regarded as near true 75 Ohm. However when I read the product description of many of the high end companies description of their digital cables, for some reason they don't describe the connector.
