The problem started when I cut the cable in half on accident. It's a
very small coaxial cable.

Question is, can you just solder it back and expect it to work OK?

Is the cable smaller than RG-174?

You can repair that small stuff, just keep it all circularly symmetric and
the ratios of the diameters the same. A more reliable repair would be to
place male and female connectors on the broken ends and rejoin them.

That's what I suggested too!

I find it amusing that RB needs ultra precision audio cables and performance
for acoustic signals at one volt levels and 30 Hz vibrations and yet it is
ok just to solder things together for microwave signals at levels of .000001
volts and 1,500,000,000 Hz vibrations. Amazing. But then you just can't read
about such things in a stereo review magazine or find reviews on the
internet.

Why do find it surprising? It's yet another example of The Boobster
knowing next to nothing about which he writes, but doing so profligately
anyway.
