Now you're talking about frequencies that are MUCH higher than the audio band. Complex impedences take effect. An improper cable, a bad connection, etc. can cause REFLECTIONS of the signal resulting in jitter. Direction can affect signal integrity in this situation. But that has nothing to do with the copper of the wire. Remember, this is NOT an audio band signal. The physical design of wire, insulation (material MATTERS), ground, shape, connectors, etc. could affect what goes on here.
