So the options so far for higher end 50 ohm BNC cables are...

There just seems to be very limited options for 50ohm. Are there any other options for a premium 50 ohm BNC cable?

Habst, Shunyata, Sotm, Esoteric perhaps and obscure Japanee cies... The next up in the price ladder is fhe Sotm. Then the Habst.

Dammit, of course they're gonna cost more than the clock...

Aliexpress sellers need to get to work on a sterling silver 50 ohm BNC cable. A Habst knockoff would be nice

Yeah, apparently fhe Habst is excellent.

Are the wires for BNC cables interchangeable with either 50 or 75 ohm?

Is it just the connector thats different or is there something different with the cable as well?

If its just the connector, maybe I can ask one of the aliexpress sellers to change the connector to a 50ohm connector. I was thinking something like this.

No, the cable itself has a characteristic impedance.

I have it. It does not beat the lmr400.

Very interested in the difference of those two.

I have something similar to the pasternack cable.

I ordered the lmr400 which should be here in about 2 weeks I received the afterdark clock cable with my AD clock. I am currently using a 50ohm clock cable made for me by Pine Tree Audio.

I'll report back! I'm also have the cable offered by Beatechnik as an add-on with the LHY OCK-2. I have no other cable to compare it to and it's not had the proper burn-in time.

Only issue is the lmr400. Is very stiff and has to be pre-shaped. There is a flexible variation which is more convenient.

 

[dougms3]

No, the cable itself has a characteristic impedance.

I know you said this and I trust your knowledge but I don't want to believe it.

So I'm going to do some research and keep asking around until I get the answer I wanna hear.

 

[Boomboy]

This is the one that came with my ock-2 . Haven't used it yet . I'm on the lmr-400 ATM . I might try it on the weekend

Have you tried LMR-400? It's the best clock cable I have yet tried.
