Not really. A foot is about a light-nanosecond, yes, but
high-frequency signals in copper travel by skin effect, moving
significantly more slowly - somewhere around .6c, I think it is.
Well, actually, it depends on the impedance. So, 50 Ohm
coax cable is .6 C, twisted pair differential cable is 120
Ohms, and the propagation velocity is a little above .7 I
think. Wires in open space are faster, around .8 or so, but
the signal quality may be poor.
