Okay, now I'm curious. What's unbalanced about the one and balanced
about the other? (Of course, it quite possibly would be perfectly
obvious if I knew more about the relevant interfaces.)
Think differential vs. single-ended. In differential, both lines
carry the same signal, just 180 degrees out of phase, whereas on
conductor in an unbalanced/single-ended line is at a constant fixed
potenetial.
You know this if you fool with various flavors of SCSI or, say, RS422
vs. RS423.

unbalanced cable to the 300 ohm balanced TV input.
