HDMI Cables

	Buying Tip: While the signal itself is digital, it is still being transmitted over an analog medium so cable construction will play a role in your resolution output-especially over long distances. Keep in mind with HDMI cables, standard quality is enough for most uses-especially short lengths under 15 feet. Larger gauge cables with large gauge premium construction are well suited to longer length applications and professional environments where reliability and durability are critical. Construction will also have an impact on cost as more copper for larger gauges and more or preferred (and more effective) shielding methods will add to the purchase price. Look for well shielded cables, usually double or triple shielding with braided shielding over spiral or foil as a general rule. Also, be sure to get an ATC certified HDMI cable to ensure the cable meets the latest HDMI specifications (though be aware not all lengths are tested.). That said, do not let anyone try to justify spending exhorbitant amounts for a short length standard-grade HDMI cable as retail brands often do. You are just throwing your money away. No matter whom you buy from, be sure to buy from a reputable choice like Comprehensive. For more about HDMI, visit our HDMI Learning Center.
