Subject: Re: Shielded hook up

From: "data2action" <fluxmonk@...>

i'm using belden 25awg sheilded mic cable, mouser #566-9396-250. very
small diameter and pliable. primarily got it to make 1/8" patch
cords, seems to work well.

i've never understood what the "RG" designations mean, or what other
properties of shielded cable (dialetcric? capacitance) make it
suitable or not for audio applications... any "intro to coax" info
would be appreciated.
