Does this transmit over standard phono cable or need a special type?

Thanks...

Single 75Ohm coaxial cable. RCA to RCA.


any rca cable will work perfectly if your run is less than a fraction
of a wavelength (ie: less than 500')


Well, since the signal is a square wave with edge harmonics up to
50MHz or higher, one might also consider the wavelength of interest
for mismatching to be more like 6 metres. You'd then consider that a 1
metre cable just might show some minor effects.
