    Most digital signals carry extra data for error correction even if there is issues with the electrical signal due to distance and EM interference.

    Cable issues like what you’re talking about should only be happening on cables carrying analog signal, and that should be solvable with basic, dirt cheap shielding in the cable itself.

      Yeah, like it needs to be super long. That’s why you see it more in Ethernet cables and why they have better shielding. With HDMI it’s not as big of a deal because they’re so short.
