Currious what clock and aes cables twelve owners use. Any recommendations specificaly?

The d1-twelve-mk3 and the d1-sublime are supplied with a custom BNC clock cable.
I also recommend the UP12 AES-EBU cable.
I am using all these at the Munich High End show.

So no real need to upgrade from the stock clock cable? That's good to know if so.

Also, just assuming, but clock cable should be 75ohm and length shouldn't realy matter (no need for 1m+ for best signal like aes) correct?

As for the up12, I have one and have been weighing my options of just getting a second (and maybe third) VS going a different direction. Mostly just trying to figure out what options people even like at this point tbh.
But I tried many other AES cables as well and the best by far are
Absolue Creation Tim Ref Signature.
Tyvm for the info! I haven't seen these before so I'll read up!
