Hmm... concerning, - I haven't inspected closely, but from what I remember,
the foil screen on this cable looks like thin aluminium stuff...
I'd like to test this cable myself, - what do I need to look for? what
readings should I get for CT100, - what range should I set my DMM to? -
what
length of cable should I test? (one for Keith perhaps?)
If it's no good, I've got a week to get something decent sourced....
