A number of Belden, Canare, and other mainstream cable manufacturers bulk digital cable products are essentially 75 ohm video cable designs intended/marketed by some A/V cable builder/sellers for digital audio use. The designs of some of these cables do not sound high-performance when used as line-level analog interconnects. Avoid cables with a tin plated braided shield and/or a silver plated center conductor for line-level use. Since a solid core copper center conductor larger than 22 AWG tends to produce skin effect artifacts when used for a line-level application, the fact that most of these cables feature a 20 AWG (RG59) or an 18 AWG (RG6) solid core copper center conductor makes them unfavorable options for use as a line-level rca interconnect. A larger than 22 AWG stranded copper center conductor may tend to be fine in terms of skin effect issues, but is less favorable than a solid core center conductor for line-level rca interconnect applications. YMMV
