    Re: HDMI cables

    Why thank you kind sir

    This time of night? Oh... done it again

    BTW Jilly was a source of great disappointment to me - after all these years I've still never found a wine that tastes of blackberries, let alone of old smoking jacket with crumbs of stilton in its pockets.

    "30 AWG conductors ensure superior signal"
    - is not even Category 1, it's Category 0 maybe...

    Category 1 "Standard" for 720p60 and 1080i60 using 28 AWG (0.081 mm²) conductors.
    Category 2 "High Speed" for 1080p60 and 2160p30 using 24 AWG (0.205 mm²) conductors.

    This labeling guideline for HDMI cables went into effect on October 17, 2008

    Is 30 AWG for 528i signals? ...

    Go to wikipedia ..
