I need to make a 6m Coaxial lead from AV Receiver to DVD player.

Maplin sell Digital Coaxial (Shark) which is claimed is "specifically
designed for digital audio interconnects such as those used between DVD
players and digital decoders for surround sound systems, it would be an
excellent alternative to regular 75 ohms coax where high signal quality is
essential", this cable however costs £1.99 per metre (and is out of
stock!).
Is standard 75ohm low loss coax not suitable? Maplin do N12AP for £1.49
for
5metres which claims Nom. conductor areaf 0·786mm&square, and
Capacitance
56pF/m, Attenuation per 10m:0·75dB at 100MHz, 2·6dB at 900MHz? Will this
not
work OK?

its digital - go for the cheapest - there will be no difference - because
it's a string of 1's and 0's - not an analogue sound.
ignore the ripoff merchants.

Thats what I was thinking. Either it will work or no work (nothing
inbetween).

Looks like the 5metre roll for £1.49 will do it then (just about stretch it
rather than use 6m!)

thanks
