An HDMI cable is used to transfer video data between devices that have an HDMI connector. It is important to remember that this cable only allows you to transfer pictures, not sound. Therefore, to transmit sound, you need to buy an analog, optical or digital coaxial cable. Choosing an HDMI cable can be a challenge for you. Therefore, there are a few things you should know to help you choose the best HDMI cable for your needs.
Instructions
Step 1
Categories. There are two categories of HDMI cables: the first are designed to support HDTV resolution, the others are required for high definition.
Step 2
Length. Typically an HDMI cable is 3 to 50 inches long. The longer the cable, the more expensive it is, and the loss of signal will also increase.
Step 3
Active HDMI cables. For specialized purposes, many manufacturers offer active HDMI cables. These cables use a variety of technologies to stimulate long distance data transmission and improve data quality by connecting the power supply.
Step 4
Price. Not only the HDMI cable itself must be of high quality, but also the connectors with which it connects to devices. Do not overpay for a high quality gold-plated cable with a low-grade connector for connecting to technology.
