If this is a serious question the answer is NO. Buy a coax with 75 ohm impedence. I gotta go back 20+ years to my old electro magnetic fields courses, but if I remember correctly, impedence is a a result of cable geometry and shielding. All newer video circuits that I know of are designed to accept signals from a 75 ohm cable. I would recommend buying the new Super quad-shielded RG-6 Coax designed for HDTV signals. The only down side to this cable is that it is bulky and somewhat stiff. You can never go wrong with Belden for quality-built video cable.
