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?

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.

Does anyone else have a BNC cable preference that can be used with the AfterDark clock?

So, after demoing a Nordost Valhalla 1 BNC cable, I was quite impressed with it over the stock BNC. So, I bought it.
Hard to believe that a cable for a clock could improve the sound quality so much.
