For a piece of co-ax a couple of feet long or so to remove some of

capacitor added somewhere.


Or possibly a resistor from the center conductor to ground.

Considering the low output impedance of well designed equipment, more
like a short? ;-)


There is some equipment that is well designed but designed to drive a
high impedance load. In cases like that, loading it down with 600 ohms
instead of something like 50k ohms will result in a roll off of low
frequencies.


In which case changing the interconnect will make not a scrap of
difference.


Provided the interconnect mfgr doesn't tie a resistor between the center
and ground or do anything else to lower the impedance.
