Here's my situation. I need to run a subwoofer cable ~30ft from my AV receiver. I am renting my condo (no holes in walls or floors), the floors are hardwood, and I need to pass by a door.
I'm looking for a cable that is low-profile, flexible, white, and reasonably priced. This should allow me to run the cable on the molding up around the door with minimal visual impact.
I found this cable:

It's sheilded 75ohm cable and about $30 for 35ft. Will this option work for me? Any other suggestions?

Problem is the cable has BNC connectors otherwise it will work. Its thew wrong color but check this out.

The cable in the OP's link can be ordered as RCA-to-RCA (make sure they are both male). So it should work out just fine.

I did a ready fire aim, I just noticed you could order the cable with RCA so it should work just fine, pricey cable though.

Just about any cheap cable will work or didn’t you get the memo? I couldn’t really give a hoot if you spent $100 dollars.

Thanks for the quick response. I'm aware that most cheap RCA patch cables will work (I've been using a cheap RCA now for years).
It wasn't until I started doing research that I found that RG6 and RG59 cables will work. I've spent an embarassing amount of time trying to locate this damn cable. It's very difficult to find something flexible (not a quality of RG6 and RG59), as well as white.
I feel pretty stupid spending this kind of money on this cable (~$40 after shipping). I may hold off for a bit and possibly buy a "cable speedbump" and run it ~3ft straight out from my entertainment center to the throw rug.
Decisions, decisions...
