All Kimber cables, no matter what they market the cable as, seem to share similar designs, in particular, the unshielded, braided design.

I recently hooked up my DVD player's component outputs to my DTV's component input using three 0.5m Kimber Silver Streak *audio* interconnects and found that they worked rather well, surprisingly. In fact, I thought that it worked better than the true 75ohm RCA-terminated video cables I was using before. I could see no RF interference artifacts, which indicated to me that their braided design does, in fact, reject RF interference pretty well.

I assume same could hold true for digital connections.
