Myth HDMI cable

On the subject of HDMI cable I have now read tests and reports already in an epic scale. What is critical? Definitely not the price, but certainly the length. But even here, it is interesting beyond 3-4 meters. At a minimum criterion but it should already be a HDMI cable that HDMI 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.3b is compatible. That they are but actually all! Otherwise, there are two very significant quality features:

First, the shielding. Who leads a bunch of cables to his flat by a narrow cable duct, should make sure that he uses optimally shielded cables. This protects against inbound and outbound noise. This cable is four times (!) Shielded, has an extremely hard-wearing synthetic fiber sheath and is still flexible.

Second, the processing of the connectors. They must first of all sit absolutely fixed and here the Konkurzenz fails rows. Room for maneuver damaged sooner or later not only the plug, but also the corresponding socket. That you can not find in the product description, unfortunately, mostly special only in the reviews of the customers or if you connect the cable at home. In addition, the contacts should be corrosion-resistant coated. In general, all quality products are gold-plated, which ensures optimum signal transmission and protects against corrosion. The processing of the connection between the connector and cable can be difficult to check. This cable has a very high quality connectors. They sit absolutely bombproof without a micro-millimeter margin. Nevertheless, they can be plugged and remove without excessively force. A gilded and corrosion-resistant coating is naturally self-evident.

Do I need Ferritkernfilter on HDMI cables? No, as long as the cable is shielded properly from start to finish, ferrite cores are an unnecessary ballast. Accordingly we find ferrite cores virtually never to expensive cables, since these already have a high-quality screening. Some reviews even suggest that ferrite cores are a sign of a lack of quality in the field of screening, since they are to iron out these deficiencies.

Can a cable for 50 + X euros more? No, not usually. Now made by journals countless technical tests. There you'll see a lot of colorful performance curves that all differ slightly from one another. These differences are so marginal that it can not normally visible to the human ear or eye. If the HDMI cable is plugged and route all wires in the cable signal you from A to B, there is in principle no matter if the cable has cost 5 euros or 50 euros. Decisive are superbly finished contacts / connector and a good shielded cable, because if there is interference, it will sooner or later cause here.

This cable is an absolute top product with regard to the above-mentioned points!
