"I don't understand what properties determine a digital cable's bandwidth."It's mostly a materials issue- The better cables seem to have dielectrics that allow faster "propagation" (such as Teflon), which often translates to improved bandwidth. (Maybe someone else who is more-familiar with cable construction can chime in here to provide more details. Jon Risch would probably be a good resource.)
"Also, is RFI/EMI rejection an important trait in a digital cable?"
Most-definitely. "RFI bleedthrough" can greatly impact the rig's listenability (fatigue), and I think it is an even bigger issue in digital playback than jitter. Although unlike characteristic impedance and bandwidth, "RFI bleedthrough" does not necessarily exacerbate jitter problems.
This is the sole reason why I've switched to optical (Toslink) cables, and never looked back.
