SPIDF RCA Cable 100-150 Bucks?
HAL:
As a reference you might try some RG6 RF cable with type F connectors and the type F to 75ohm RCA connectors.
Used up to 3GHz and 75 Ohm cable impedance.
Have fun experimenting!

(this is ~25 years ago.) so, what did i have to lose? and, on a whim, i measured it, and yup - it's 75 ohms.
