Just an FYI that BJC now carries the new 12G '4K' Series by Belden:
Apart from the jacket lettering, externally these cables look just like the 6G versions, but internally they've been re-engineered for 12G. This has meant going to silver-plated copper center conductors, for improved attenuation; bonded foil, for tighter control of impedance; and reconfigured shield braids to prevent the shield from creating return loss issues.

Personally I intend to get the 4694R version and use it for my internet coaxial cable. And just as a reminder you can also get really affordable pure silver only digital coax, the Audioquest VSD-5, here:

Lastly, I've been messing around with a tweak (which I won't go into at this forum) that involves ethernet cables. I ended up cutting open a number of cheap Ethernet Cat7 cables off Amazon and I gotta say, some of them are poorly made. I mean, terrible. One exception was the Amazon brand:

All tightly wrapped. Screamed quality. The look and construction reminded me of a certain company. Then I remembered Blue Jeans Cable is also based in Seattle...
