What exactly fails after a while? If it's a coaxial cable, the cable
has a metal shield which is there to form a faraday cage around the
signal conductor and block external interference. It's the whole

That is not a problem if you really have "signal cable" and not bell
wire. Twisted pair is very tolerant of any outside noise, Coax is even
better.
