I have quite successfully used sections of HDMI cables for multi 
shielded cables in many applications.    There are four shielded twisted 
pairs one HDMI cable plus a number of signal lines. among other things I 
used one when I adapted my David Clark aviation headset for my rig.  I 
used one shielded line for the mic and the other for the ear phones  and 
one of the other lines to provide bias for the mic.   works great.   For 
analog use  I would think that most HDMI cables are fine but if you want 
good grade some high end brands like monster cable can be pretty good 
quality cable.

Another source is VGA cable with if memory server 3 shielded lines for  
RGB.  these are unbalanced (singe ended)

Last is USB   there are four conductors   two are twisted pair typically 
green and white   they are all shielded in one jacket.
