AES-EBU and SP-DIF signals are incredibly rugged, and provided the
cable is of 75 ohms impedance, what it's made of and how constructed
will have *no* effect on the signal transmitted.

Can some kind soul please tell me what the impedance of a "normal"
analogue phono-phono cable is?

It doesn't matter since domestic audio connections aren't matched. They
will be typically something like a 50 ohm output and a 50 kohm input.
Unlike video which is usually 75 ohms in and out.

However, most co-ax cable used for phono circuits will be centred around
75 ohms.
