Does the 1.5m 75ohm rule apply to 110ohm?

I’ve read many times that 1.5m is the best length for SPDIF.
Al Marg’s (RIP) excellent explanations come to mind.
Does this rule apply to XLR 110ohm digital cables as well?

Please don’t turn this thread into a ’bits are bits’ carnival.
If you have nothing but negative opinions please don’t post.

Yes there is a thing to watch for and that’s digital reflection (jitter?) this is said to be reduced when the interconnect is no shorter than 1.5mt, I think this would also apply to aes/ebu.
Can you link Al’s (rip) post on this please?

Cheers George
