Good value and I like the end connectors
OK not much you can say about a cable unless you get one that is bad or "flakey" from a problem with the shield as we read from a previous posting.
I recently upgraded my HDTV system and now have a HDTV Blue-ray and Receiver that supports the HDMI 1.3 spec. This spec enables new high bandwidth features previously not supported in older HDMI cables and equipment. Both the Blue-ray and the HDTV and my Roku-Netflix box are firmware upgradeable so this cable should support their enhancements for at least a couple of years.
Being the quintessential anal-retentive Electrical Engineer I tend to over analyze everything (even if not required). When buying cables (typically the weak link in most systems) you have to determine if the product is manufactured from a reputable vendor or built by a couple of guys in their garage with no quality control. Mediabridge Products is a subsidiary of Broadband Products Inc. Broadband Products has HDMI certification (see hdmi.org for why this is important).
There are two types of HDMI cable Standard (Category 1) and High Speed (Category 2) and they have different performance metrics. A Standard cable can transmit a 1080i signal for 15 meters (49 feet) or more while a High Speed HDMI cable can transmit a 1080p signal for at least 7.5 meters (25 feet). For the most part running cables less than 5 meters either will work but I want to make sure and this cable is Category 2.
Why did I buy this specific cable from this vendor: The vendor has an almost perfect feedback record the product is low cost for the specs fulfilled by Amazon and importantly free shipping and a return policy that pays the shipping for returns/exchanges of defects.
