American Wire Gauge AWG (abbreviated as AWG) is actually the abbreviation of the American wire standard, and the AWG value is a function of the wire thickness (in inches). It is a standard for distinguishing wire diameters, also known as Brown & Sharpe wire gauge. This standardized wire gauge system has been in use in the United States since 1857.
In the HDMI cable, the AWG (American Wire Gauge) value is a function of the diameter of the wire, which is what we often call the wire gauge. The AWG value is inversely proportional to the wire diameter. The smaller the value, the thicker the wire diameter, the greater the current it can carry, and the longer the number of meters it supports transmission, but the corresponding price is also more expensive.
The AWG gauge is for single, solid, and round wires. The AWG value of the twisted pair is determined by the total cross-sectional area of all the wires, and since there are always some gaps between the twisted pairs, the diameter of the twisted pair with the same AWG value is always slightly larger than the diameter of a single wire.
The AWG value should be marked on the data line as the basic value. For example, the Category 5 unshielded twisted-pair cables used in networking generally use AWG 24 wires, while SATA cables generally use AWG 26 wires.
In the industry, the HDMI limit transmission length of different wire gauges will basically fall between the following values:
30 AWG limit transmission length 5-8 meters;
28 AWG limit transmission length 12-15 meters;
26 AWG limit transmission length 18-20 meters;
24 AWG ultimate transmission length 20-25 meters.
