Generally, the way AV cables work depends on the specific type of cable and the signals they are designed to transmit. However, this section will give a general overview of how different types of AV cables work.

1. Signal Generation: A device (like a Blu-ray player or computer) generates audio and video signals.
2. Signal Encoding: The signals are encoded into a format suitable for transmission (e.g., HDMI, VGA, or RCA).
3. Cable Connection: The encoded signals are transmitted through the AV cable, which consists of:
   • Copper Wires: Carry the signals
   • Insulation: Prevents signal interference
   • Shielding: Reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI)
   • Connectors: Attach to devices (e.g., HDMI, RCA, or VGA)
4. Signal Transmission: The signals travel through the cable, maintaining their quality and integrity.
5. Signal Reception: The receiving device (like a TV or projector) decodes the signals.
6. Signal Processing: The decoded signals are processed and displayed as audio and video.

When buying AV cables online you must determine what device you're buy the cable for. Also what type of signals do you want to transfer, audio or video or both and it's also important to consider what is the distance of your device connection? 

1. Choose the Right Type of Cable
   • HDMI: Digital audio and video, ideal for modern devices
   • VGA: Analog video, suitable for older devices
   • RCA: Analog audio and video, commonly used for home theaters
   • DisplayPort: Digital audio and video, often used for computers
   • Optical: Fiber optic cables for digital audio
2. Consider Cable Length
   • Size the distance between devices to ensure the cable is long enough
   • Longer cables may need amplification or boosters
3. Check Cable Quality

   • Search for cables with:

     • Thick, high-quality insulation

     • Shielding for EMI protection

     • Gold-plated connectors for corrosion resistance

     • Durable construction

4. Compatibility
   • Ensure the cable is compatible with your devices' ports and signal types
5. Resolution and Bandwidth
   • Choose a cable that supports your desired resolution (e.g., 4K, 1080p)
   • Consider the cable's bandwidth capacity
     
6. Brand and Warranty
   • Research reputable brands
   • Look for cables with warranties or guarantee
     
7. Price
   • Balance quality and price
   • Be wary of extremely cheap options
