high impedance capacitive cable, what is it

Fibo · 2008-10-07T13:13:35+00:00

hello, I heard somebody talking about a type of cable the other dayand I can't find any information on it... does this make sense toanybody:I was doing a continuity check (aka ohming out, ringing out...etc etc)on a db15 cable with all the pins connected straight through thecable... and my multimeter was showing very high (open) resistance onall the pins... then someone said something that was something likethis:"maybe it's a capacitive type cable where it sends/recieves pulses....then it would make sense that you're seeing such high resistance"- I've tried googling to find out what this person was talking about,but have found anything.... I was wondering if anyone in here knewwhat this person may have been talking about?Thanks,Fibo
