xiberia Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 The only time a more expensive cable is needed is when you have a longer cable. This is when you obviously need more quality but it has nothing to do with signal as this is digital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thicker the cable is the better it conducts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyCampers Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The longer a cable is the greater the resistance. The thicker the cable is the better it conducts. I think you mean inductance, resistance isnt really an issue in signal cables and, as others have already said, neither is really an issue with digital signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
