For analog interconnecting cables the system frequency response can be calculated from the electrical properties of the cables (resistance, capacitance and inductance) Different construction geometries and materials such as silver or oxygen free high-purity copper can make a difference. However cables carrying digital signals, such as S/PDIF and HDMI, are effectively immune to signal degradatio ... more
