How important is cable quality to avoid leaks? Some cables have more
braiding and some less. Some have an aluminum foil and some don't. If a
cable checks well for loss and impedance, is it likely to be good enough?

So far, all detectable leaks at my station were due to loose connectors not
cables. But  I am planning SO2R and then even low level leaks may be
noticeable.
