No, it's to carry digital data: square waves with frequency content up to
around 10MHz (probably more: the "fundamental" for want of a better name
is around 1.4MHz). That's more like a video signal than an analog audio
signal. "Reader" is correct.

The frequency determines the performance of the cable.
