Recommendations for a good audiophile digital coax (BNC-BNC) 50 ohm cable?


Needed for a connection between DAC and clock. Most good cables out there are 75 ohm, and the 50 ohm coax cables easily available are mainly for video, with clearly poor insulation, cable quality and solidity (albeit very cheap! :-). It is my understanding that using a 75 ohm cable for this connection might be OK for extremely short distance (1-2 ft) but for not recommended for "normal" use (1 m or more). Was wondering if I missed something?

Most wordclock connections I’ve seen specify a 75-ohm cable. I don’t know if that’s the case for your gear, but 50-ohm connections typically are used for circuits carrying considerable power. May be worth a check to make sure you get the right cable for the job.

I sincerely doubt you’ll have anything to complain about with a standard cable assembly made by Amphenol or other such vendor, but of course the boutique cable manufacturers do make a much nicer looking product.
Thanks, very helpful. The clock is Mutec Ref 10, and they recommend the 50 ohm connection with the Esoteric K1. I was also puzzled, perhaps should check directly with them.
Rajah, Short cables (<1ft) don't have to be impedance matched for average CDP to DAC connection, but your clock provides, according to description, "a very high slew rate", making it necessary to match impedance.  Also, this cable normally should be >1.5m, but because of this high slew rate 1m should be fine.  You can find 1m BNC-BNC 50ohm cables in Digi-Key or Amazon, like this one:

I am also a firm believer in Wireworld wire, use their BNC terminated cable between my Esoteric player and word clock.
You can also try cables from HAVE, Inc., they have standard ones as well will make up special cables for you with any ends that you may need. They use both Mogami and Canare wire products.
