HDMI cable is characterized by its performance rather than the lay up of the individual cables. The choice of a specific wire gauge makes no difference to the effectiveness of the cable. An approved and licensed HDMI cable will work flawlessly if it connected to licensed HDMI outputs and inputs.
On the same note, expensive HDMI cables cannot deliver better quality images than cheap ones. The nature of HDMI signals means that the signal is either properly received by a television or not. There is no gradual loss of quality before the signal fails.
No, but the HDMI cable also carries AUDIO.
24/28 AWG is the thickness of the wire used in the conductors, AWG stands for American Wire Gauge, and is a measurement of how many conductors can be wrapped around a cylinder next to each other in one inch. Therefore, the 24 AWG wire is slightly thicker. There is no need for thicker wire in HDMI cables, however, as it is the quality of sheilding and the connectors that determine the cables ultimate quality. You shouldn't have to pay any more than $20.00 for a 6 foot HDMI cable.
There is no difference in the picture quality. You simply need to purchase the cable for the application that you have. If you have a normal Blu-Ray, HDTV and Cable or Satellite HD receiver, a HDMI 1.3 cable is the right type. For 3D televisions, purchase a 1.4 cable.
1.4 is just the latest technology. It just means that with a HDMI 1.4 cable, you will get faster data transferring. If I was going to buy a HDMI cable and not know what version to get, I would just get the cheapest one. HDMI 1.4 is the specification for cable that is compatible with 3D transmissions. If you purchase a 1.3 spec cable, it may work with 3D, but it is not guaranteed. 1.4 also has the provision for Audio Return Channel, which may or may not be supported through your equipment.
There is no difference in optical cable in terms of sound. If the signal is passing through, it is working. Having gold-plated end plugs or other cosmetic features is not necessary, since it is not an electrical connection. The only concern is getting the cable long enough so that it reaches the two devices without kinking. Sharp bends in optical cable can impede or block the transmission.
Difference between coaxial cable and STP cable used for computer networking?
The difference between Armored cable and Metal Clad cable is that the MC cable has a EGC (Equipment Grounding Conductor). Both cables are armored, and look almost identical so watch out.
The difference between a cross cable and a state cable is that a cross cable, or crossover cable, is used specifically to connect two of the same devices.
DSL is considered to be broadband speed. There is a difference in speed between DSL and Cable. Cable is generally much faster.
A copper cable transports electrical signals. An optical cable transports light signals.
The difference between 150 and 350 digital channel feed in the cable TV lies with the quality of the video.
Telephone is Cat3 while the cable coming form the modem is Cat5
Whether or not a network cable is connected to your computer.
Core Flex = one conductor per cable Tech cable = 3 conductors per cable
the ATA66 cable simply transfers data faster than the ATA33 cable. So if you've gotta choose between the two go for the ATA66.
No difference in terms of number of wires used.
ACT has thermoplastic insulated wires. AC is old MC is the modern cable.
