Need help in understanding Specs of Belden video cables

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

Hi ,
Been looking and comparing specs of various belden cables for video or antenna uses.
E.g. Belden 1505A/1506A , 1694A/1695A , 7731A/7732A , etc ...
Can someone help explain in simple language what some of these mean ; just a flavor of what it refers to.
Nominal Inductance (uH/m)
Nominal Capacitance Conductor to Shield (pF/m)
Nominal Velocity of Propagation (%)
Nomimnal Delay (ns/m)
Nominal Conductor DC Resistance @ 20DegC (ohm/km)
Nominal Outer Shield DC Resistance @ 20DegC (ohm/km)
Sweep Testing (e.g. 100% sweep tested 5mHz to 3GHz)
Or at least if it ideally should be a high or low value.
Hope to learn and increase my knowledge and understanding.
Thanks in advance ,
SteveLim
