[. . . ] Metal Signal Shield Metal shields the signal from outside interference better than plastic while maintaining the impedance required for the cable to perform at high speed. This style of connector helps to provide higher performance by keeping the connecting wires shorter and properly in place. Hermetic Sealed Connector The Hermetic sealing protects the wires and holds them in alignment while maintaining the critical impedance of the cable. [. . . ] Hermetic Sealed Connector The Hermetic sealing protects the wires and holds them in alignment while maintaining the critical impedance of the cable. This also prevents moisture from oxidizing the bare copper wires that would be exposed to air and moisture in the air. Molded Strain Relief The molded strain relief secures the jacket and cable to the connector virtually making the cable one piece providing a strong, reliable, long lasting cable connector. Protective PVC Jacket The clear protective jacket provides a cosmetically pleasing strong & flexible exterior. Gold Plated Connector Contacts Pure 24K Gold is the preferred material for connectors as it is an excellent conductor and highly resistant to oxidization ensuring a reliable connection. Triple Shielding The cable has two outer shields of 110% foil and 90% braid and individual inner "STP" Shielded twisted pair construction to shield the signals from outside interference.

An HDMI cable is nothing more than a conduit between two pieces of High Definition Hardware, albeit an LCD or Plasma TV and/or a High-Def cable or satellite box and/or a High-Def DVD player. HDMI cables have evolved through a series of iterations resulting in the latest 1. 3 a/b specification. Higher quality construction of 24 AWG (with tighter construction tolerances, etc. ) allow lengths of 40 to 50 feet and Category 2 performance. In addition, cables using fiber optic or dual Cat 5 cables instead of copper, usually in commercial applications can be used to extend the length to 300 feet or more, at greatly increased expense.
HDMI 1. 3 a/b, Glossary
Higher speed: HDMI 1. 3 a/b increases its single-link bandwidth over 200% to 10. 2 Gbps to support the demands of Deep ColorTM, future higher resolution display devices, and high frame rates. In addition, built into the HDMI 1. 3 a/b specification is the technical foundation that will let future versions of HDMI reach significantly higher speeds. Higher Resolution HDMI 1080p provides over 450% the resolution of 480p, and over 225% the resolution of 720p HDTV for greater detail and larger display sizes. Higher Refresh Rates We are increasingly seeing demand for display panels with a faster 90Hz (up to 120HZ) refresh rate. This trend will continue, as faster refresh rates create smoother motion and less blurring. This will have a significant impact on the gaming market. We will see improved motion sequences and faster response times. Deep ColorTM HDMI 1. 3 a/b supports 30-bit, 36-bit and 48-bit color depths, up from 24-bit depths in previous versions of the HDMI specification. HDTVs and other displays go from millions of colors to billions of colors.
