Signal interference is almost exclusively a problem only with analog cables, not with digital ones, because digital signals are very resilient against interference, which is why they are often preferred. Digital signals are not inherently better than analog signals, they are just much more resilient against interference. However, when looking for analog cables, signal interference can be an issue, so don't buy the cheapest cables unless you want a poor connection.
