HDMI is a universal connection standard for transmitting video and audio signals. Its main applications include connecting monitors and televisions to computers, BluRay players, and similar devices. The connection takes up less space, making it better suited for portable display devices like ultrabooks and notebooks. 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. The cable supports 3D video, features an HDMI Ethernet channel, and an audio return channel for signal forwarding to the audio/video receiver. The connector housing is designed in black and gold.
