Hi,
Usually 75-ohm cable has less capacitance per unit length than
50-ohm and so, at video frequencies where you can't have a match
over the complete range (which with short cables is not so
important anyway), roll-off at the high end will be less
pronounced.
Cheers - Joe
Does anyone know why video connectors have impedance 75 Ohms not
50 or any other number Ohms?
Why is 75 Ohms better than 50 Ohms for video signals?
