The only relevant test of RCA single ended cables is to send an interference current through the shield and measure the added voltage to the useful signal. Measurement of distortion is absolutely pointless, cables have no distortion.
One of the possible test circuits is this one. Peaks are proportional to shield/ground return inductance, settled level to shield resistance. That's all we need.
and some results
