Hello, both silver and copper are highly conductive metals, with silver being the more conductive of the two, but also the more expensive of the two. For digital connections, such as HDMI, most of the signal will travel down the outer part of the cable which is the path of least resistance. Starting with a high quality solid copper as the base metal and then using silver plating for the outer part of the conductor (the outer 5% in the case of the Carbon HDMI) allows for the most benefit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Silver and gold plated fittings provide a better conductor, thus better sound/picture
