That is the use they were designed for.
Not all cables are made the same way. I'm sure some RG-6 cables are crappy copper plated steel. Blue jeans cables uses Belden 1694A for all kinds of stuff from analog audio, to video, to spdif. The specs say 18 AWG solid copper. I agree on the F connectors, they suck. If you're going to crimp on a non-RCA connector use BNC. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30801 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
