Recommendations for a good audiophile digital coax (BNC-BNC) 50 ohm cable?

Needed for a connection between DAC and clock. Most good cables out there are 75 ohm, and the 50 ohm coax cables easily available are mainly for video, with clearly poor insulation, cable quality and solidity (albeit very cheap! :-). It is my understanding that using a 75 ohm cable for this connection might be OK for extremely short distance (1-2 ft) but for not recommended for "normal" use (1 m or more). Was wondering if I missed something?

Thx. Looked at their website, but they did not seem to have any 50 ohm cables. Perhaps I should call,

Thanks, very helpful. The clock is Mutec Ref 10, and they recommend the 50 ohm connection with the Esoteric K1. I was also puzzled, perhaps should check directly with them.

Thanks guys, indeed several options to go for. It seems (reading between lines) that matching the 50 ohm impedance is more critical than getting a "beautiful looking" audiophile cable, so it might be my best bet to go for a baseline one then stay tuned for a more audiophile for future upgrade (I will indeed try to confirm benefits of such upgrade with Mutec).
