Hi I suspect that you have a ground offset between the OCXO's ground return and the DAC's ground reference. The signal *should* be DC, Shielding it won't hurt, but it really should not help much. If anything is an issue a simple R/C filter at the OCXO pin should nuke it better than coax will.

I made some minor hardware changes to my GPSDO today and I see that it's locked to a new DAC voltage about 21mV higher.  So, I was wondering about shielding the short run to the OCXO.  I have immediately available RG-174 and I'm putting that in.  But, should this be some sort of steel shelled se
