Why are wires (auxiliary, HDMI) so thin? Wouldn’t thicker larger wires transmit a signal more easily?
In: Engineering
For HDMI cables specifically, the signals are digital. Therefore, the signal to noise ratio (which improves as wires become thicker and higher quality) is essentially irrelevant as long as it isn’t so bad that the receiving end can’t distinguish from a fully on signal from a fully off one. As long as it can, the data is received with complete accuracy.
