BNC Cable is RG6 the best?

BNC Cable is RG6 the best for Digital transfer?
I received a AfterDark Clock to mate with my EtherRegen. With it came a very cheap looking BNC cable.
I'm not sure exactly what makes up a BNC cable special. I know it should be 75 ohms and shielded.
So, what about using RG 6 cable? I have the appropriate BNC fittings.

Should this be better?
And of course, why then are some of these cables so expensive?

Hi Ozzy: The upgraded fuse goes in the LPS not the clock itself.

yoby,
Glad you corrected that, I almost started taking it apart! LOL!

BTW, I am confused on the VH Pulsar. At there website it says it is about $319 but on aa it is listed for $99. Perhaps the aa does not include the BNC fittings? I have a message out to VH to clarify.

The only thing I am not sure of is, the VH uses stranded wire.

Just got an email from Chris at VH.

The BNC's add $250 to the bulk wire price. That's why the large price difference. That sure seems like a lot for 2 BNC's.
