Transmission lines are thicker than TV cable wires because the transmission lines are used to transmit both low freq and high freq signals. And the losses of the transmission lines depend the resistance of the line which inturn depend upon length and area. As we have to transmitt the signals over long distances the transmission lines are thicker in size.Whereas in TV cable wires the construction is totally different in which transmission of signals is in between two conductors thereby avoiding losses.Therefore there is no necessity for these lines to be made thicker. That is why transmission lines are thicker than TV cable wires.

What are the differences between a power cable a signal cable and a data cable?
Power cable is a thick cable connecting your computer to an electrical wall outlet. It can also be a thin wire connecting your modem or other device to a rectangular [ usually ] power supply to your electrical power bar or wall outlet. Data cables are much thinner, used mainly internally, and can be many wires attached together horizontally to form a wide ribbon of wires. However, a data cable can also be a much thicker cable connecting your modem, router, printer etc. to your computer.
Is cable tv and cable internet wires interchangeable?
Yes but cable t.v does not require as much cable juice as the modem so if it does give you a problem when you switch you will have to reconfigure the cable wires where they all split off.To make sure the cable line with the modem is one of the first.
How many wires are there in a USB cable?
a usb cable has four wires, two for power and two for communication.
What are twisted pair cable wires made of?
if by "twisted pair cable" you mean a cat5 cable which is commonly used as an ethernet cable. then it´s made of copper.
Number of wire pairs in a Category 5 cable?
There are four wire pairs. White/Blue - Blue, White/Orange - Orange, White/Green - Green, and White/Brown - Brown. Only two pairs are used in Cat5 networks.
What is the purpose of ground wires in overhead transmission lines?
connection of the ground of all the transmission lines and used as a communication cable between protection devices
Where is the speedometer cable on a Chevy Venture?
there is no speed cable, it has a electronic transmission with wires
What are thick wires called?
Transmission Lines
How do you install a speedometer cable in a Chevrolet venture 2002?
there is no cable. it has an electronic transmission with wires
What are cable stays?
cable stays are wires that look like big huge lines, but in 3D yeah! it is
Why overhead transmission lines would be more economical than underground transmission lines in high voltage transmission?
Overhead wires do not require insulation, and it is easier to plant poles than dig miles of trenches.
How do you Enable Ethernet and telephone to be transmitted over the same Cat 5 cable?
Ethernet network traffic on a cat 5 cable only uses 4 wires of the 8 in the cable. Telephone voice transmission only uses 2 wires. Therefore, you can take any 2 of the unused network wires (pins 4 or 5, 7 or 8) and use it for voice. You would then have both data and voice transmission in the same cable.
What cable generally contains eight wires with either four or eight wires being used to transmit data?
Any category twisted pair cable uses 8 wires for transmitting and receiving data. However, only 4 of the 8 wires are actually used for data transmission.
Where is the transmission neutal switch on a 1995 ford escort?
On the bottom of the transmission with a set of wires going to it from the speedo assembly where the speedo cable is connected for a manual tranny
Where is the tr sensor located on the transmission on a 1997 Mazda and what does it look like?
follw the shift cable to the transmission probably the black device at the end of the cable mounted on the transmission, there should be a rod coming out of the transmissionthat goes through the eyelet at the end of the shifter cable. it is one connector w/ 7-10 wires with in.
How many wires are in coaxial cable?
how many wires does a coaxial cable have
How many wire are used in transmission line?
Transmission lines are three-phase systems. There are three line conductors in a three-phase system. However, to reduce electric stress at higher voltages, these lines are frequently made up of 'bundled' conductors -so each line might have two, three, or four separate conductors. In addition, transmission towers usually carry separate circuits -i.e. separate three-phase circuits on opposite sides of each tower. So, in the UK for example, a typical 400-kV transmission line will consist of two, separate, three-phase circuits suspended on each side of each tower, with each line consisting of four bundled conductors. That's 24 conductors.
