Re:Why you should never pay more than $10 for an HDMI cable ... by micks56 on Wednesday March 31, 2010 @11:23AM (#1231999)
Actually, I think that it takes the exact same amount of noise to flip a bit as it does to transmit a bit.

Through the principle of superposition, if you transmit a 0 with X watts, and I transmit a 1 with X watts, our combined signal will be somewhere in the middle, which can cause a bit flip.

I am not talking about voltage drop from end to end, which is a separate issue. I am talking about interference occurring adjacent to any point on the cable that you pick.
