I could be wrong so take it with a pinch of salt,&nbsp;but I think it&#39;s about right.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://www.edn.com/quick-dirty-impedance-noise-and-jitter-measurements/">This site reckons it is 100 ohms</a>. Which is not too far away from it either.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, very nice way to twist them.. I want to try that sometime.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=23224&AppID=344&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
