This is because the cables are manufactured using twisted copper pairs of very small-gauge wire.

Because they choose to include a line for power within the cable, it has become possible to power repeaters that are internal to the cable. Normally, signal boosters and repeaters need an external power source to boost the signal, but because of its design, HDMI can actually be extended without an external power source.
