AES/EBU signals can also be run using unbalanced BNC connectors a with a 75-ohm coaxial cable. The unbalanced version has a very long transmission distance as opposed to the 150 meters maximum for the balanced version.<ref>{{citation |url=https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/other/aes-ebu-eg.pdf |title=Engineering Guidelines: the EBU/AES Digital Audio Interface |author=John Emmett |date=1995 |publisher=[[European Broadcasting Union]] }}</ref> The AES-3id standard defines a 75-ohm [[BNC connector|BNC]] electrical variant of AES3. This uses the same cabling, patching and infrastructure as analogue or digital video, and is thus common in the broadcast industry.
