On Saturday I ordered this HDMI cable, was frankly a bit skeptical because of 15 meters in length but the other reviews that I found here, encouraged me. Today, the cable came with me, what struck me immediately, the package was smaller than expected. Had me some years ago a 10 meter component cable bought, which was heavy and stowed in a huge package. For cable: black with gold-plated plugs, so so, as shown. I find it very easy to handle, making it a very easy lay in the apartment. Here already wrote someone, you should handle it once before, so it ever can put something up, I can only confirm but it works for those in a hurry immediately .;) For Function: One end of the cable is connected to a Sharp projector DT-510 and at the other end with a hard disk recorder Brand Panasonic DMR-EH545. As I said at the beginning, I was a bit skeptical but after connecting both devices, I was pleasantly surprised. The component cable had already taken care of for good pictures but this was still much more the besser.Hätte but never know when the hard disc recorder connections would have been for the component cable. Can at this point recommend the HDMI cable.
