This is a cable, yes, a cable connecting the second output of the graphics card to the HDMI input on the TV. What to write there, because it works flawlessly. The Full HD TV now acts as a 2nd monitor and displays, in spite of a cable length of 7.5 meters, a perfect and sharp image, which is really usable. After a short setting of the map software now also agrees the displayed image size on the TV, this was shortly after the connection a little too big, so that the edges were not completely visible. But now absolutely top, the connectors also make a good impression. If the cable buy again.
