I understand the issue of matching impedance.

I don't understand what properties determine a digital cable's bandwidth. Also, is RFI/EMI rejection an important trait in a digital cable?

In terms of bandwidth, with digital cable (HDTV,TV,Broadband,VOIP) becoming so common, it amazes me that the older coax in many homes seems to do a good job moving a lot of digital data concurrently, vs. a dedicated cable just for stereo data.

As I type this, I am downloading a large file at 4mbs and watching a digital HDTV signal with dolby digital sound. I would guess the throughput on the line right now is 12-15 mbs. My house is about 20 years old, and the coax cable in the walls have not been upgraded.

Does this mean that all we need for bandwidth for stereo is common coax with good 75 ohm termination?
