HDMI is a universal connection standard for transmitting audio and video signals. Its main applications include connecting monitors and televisions to computers, BluRay players, and similar devices. The connection takes up less space, making it more suitable for portable display devices like ultrabooks and notebooks, or for two connections on a graphics card. The robust nylon protective braid effectively shields the HDMI cable and enhances its visual appeal. This is a high-quality, double-shielded cable with gold-plated contacts for optimal transmission of video signals.
