Default Cable Ohm Question


wrote in message
oups.com...
I am aware of the 50 and 75 ohm coax and the 300 ohm twin lead BUT I am
not sure what this means.

I know about ohms as resistance in resistors but how does that pertain
to cable.

Example - If I have 50 feet of 300 ohm twim lead ribbon cable and 50 ft
of 75 ohm coax could I measure this ohm reading with a meter?

Just a question that has bugged me for a while.

Thanks
Brian
