Digital coax cable - plug/OCC?
Hi guys, couple of questions here.
How much difference does the plug on a digital (coax) interconnect make? Logically it's job is simply to lock onto the socket but would using pure copper aid with signal transfer or is digital signal just that?
Also what are peoples thoughts on single core vs stranded wire for digital signal transfer? Single core would logically do the job better (to me), but I'm sure there are many factors to consider here like bad RF rejection/capacitance/impedance etc. Assuming both cables have good foil/Teflon jackets etc.
I'm wondering if it's worth taking a punt on a nice OCC 75ohm cable with some pure copper plugs, but may not be any upgrade over my QED reference 40 cable.
Cheers
