I had a conversation with Jonny and he is willing to make me a set to use between my Denafrips Hermes and Terminator 15th for clock sync cables. I requested them shorter than 1.37 Meters to save money. (1.37 meters cut in half which he said he would do) So anyone give them a try? Do you think they absolutely need to both be 1.37 meters? Any feedback on the performance of these as digital/clock/cables Thanks!

Are those for 10 MHz clocks?

No sir, on the inputs of the Denafrips Terminator 15th there are clock sync connections, which are connected between it and the Denafrips Hermes DDC. The Hermes is used as the input selector
 
No sir. (45.1584 MHz and 49.152 MHz )
On the back of the Denafrips Terminator 15th there are inputs for BNC Clock inputs that are connected to the Denafrips Hermes DDC. The DDC is then connected to Terminator with a RAL I2s digital connection to Terminator. And used as the input selector for all sources. The Terminator becomes the master clock this way. The cables mentioned synchronize the two clocks.

Then the cables you ordered may be too short, because they may allow for reflections. However, this may not be the case with very fast SPDIF (or I2s) drivers. See this article in Positive Feedback:


There is a reason for the 1.37 meter minimum length that Snake River Audio goes with. My digital cables are all 1.5 meters long (in my current setup I only use one), except the 10 MHz clock cable, which is 0.75 meter.
 
Thanks, that is the frustrating part. I have gotten so much conflicting feedback in my research. For Example this is from Tubulus :"
We haven't experienced differences in performance with different lengths Tubulus bnc clock cables. Our most sold length is 0,5m and customers are very satisfied with those cables.
If you have more questions feel free to contact me.

Have a nice day.

With kind regards/Met vriendelijke groet,

AI searches are all over the place. So I thought I would ask for someones opion if they have any experience with it, thank you for responding.
