[sdiy] question about cables

[cheater cheater]

Why would you use a different cable inside the modular than you use
outside the modular?

Does the signal attain magical properties when it crosses the faceplate?

Yes, the chassis shields the cable run inside from interference from
the outside, but it doesn't shield it from interference from the
inside, so what's the difference?
