Despite all the information out there about cables I don't think it makes a difference about the thickness of the cable when it comes to HDMI or optical
Ultimately these cables transmit one of two states, on or off. The signal is there or it isn't, that simple.
Thickness doesn't really matter as much as the marketing would like for you to believe. I have BOTH types that I purchased for less than $20 and my system looks and sounds fine.
But...
If you want to spend 200% more than you need to or more for name brand logos that go behind your system where no one can see then you shouldn't really ask for advice on what to get to begin with.
BTW Gold plated optical cables are the biggest ripoff ever, don't even consider them.
The programmers you will one day be looking to hire are the ones reading the tech news sites right now.
And they will remember...
