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.

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.

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.
