Mediabridge Ultra Series - High Speed HDMI Cable with Ethernet - Category 2 Certified - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - (10 Feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OK, not much you can say about a cable, unless you get one that is bad or "flakey" from a problem with the shield, as we read from a previous posting.
I recently upgraded my HDTV system and now have a HDTV, Blue-ray, and Receiver that supports the HDMI 1.3 spec. This spec enables new high bandwidth features previously not supported in older HDMI cables and equipment. Both the Blue-ray and the HDTV, and my Roku-Netflix box are firmware upgradeable, so this cable should support their enhancements for at least a couple of years.
Being the quintessential anal-retentive Electrical Engineer, I tend to over analyze everything (even if not required). When buying cables (typically, the weak link in most systems), you have to determine if the product is manufactured from a reputable vendor, or built by a couple of guys in their garage, with no quality control. Mediabridge Products is a subsidiary of Broadband Products, Inc. Broadband Products has HDMI certification (see hdmi.org for why this is important).
There are two types of HDMI cable, Standard (Category 1) and High Speed (Category 2), and they have different performance metrics. A Standard cable can transmit a 1080i signal for 15 meters (49 feet) or more, while a High Speed HDMI cable can transmit a 1080p signal for at least 7.5 meters (25 feet). For the most part, running cables less than 5 meters, either will work, but I want to make sure and this cable is Category 2.
Why did I buy this specific cable from this vendor: The vendor has an almost perfect feedback record, the product is low cost for the specs, fulfilled by Amazon, and importantly free shipping, and a return policy that pays the shipping for returns/exchanges of defects.

Accell) B041C-025B-43 CL3 UltraAV HDMI/HDMI Cable (25 Feet/7.5 Meters) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great HDMI cord, however it is not perfect (no cord is perfect, but this comes as close to it as you can), let me explain. To achieve a great setup you need two things, one is a great cord that is capable of delivering the signal throughout its length and a transmitter (cable box) that produces a signal strong enough to reach the full length run of cord. There are many 50' cords that claim they can deliver the true signal throughout their length, not alone a 65' cord like this one, but 99% are lying or using such a strong signal it would be impractical to replicate in a residential setting. This cord is thick and made of high quality materials and is not easy to bend at first but it'll come around after a little unrolling and unraveling. I, like many people didn't want to spend a lot of money on a chord because a cheap ($3.00) 6' cord will work just as well as an expensive ($50.00) 6' cord. I have many cheap short cords myself. Anyway so you say to yourself isn't it the same for a 50' cord, no and let me explain why. The longer the cord is the more the cord has to resist degrading over the run so the cord has to start out with a better signal in the beginning. This is accomplished by making the cord of higher quality materials (example: better copper, thicker copper 24 gauge, better shielding, etc.) so when it reaches the other end this signal has degraded so minimally that it is unnoticeable (this would be unrealistic in normal inexpensive cords of over 40'). In this cords case the signal starts off at HDMI 1.3 and exits at HDMI 1.2 (which is excellent for anything over 40' in length, not alone 65'). Now that we have a cable that can deliver the signal, the second part of the equation is the signal transmitter (example: cable box, ps3, xbox360, computer, etc.). I have dish network and the signal from our cable box is strong enough but it is newer and only 18 months old so an older box may not be able to do it, but you are not out of luck because there are small AC adapters that can be attached at the transmitting end which will almost guarantee the signal will work, the reason I am saying this is because I know the PS3 does not start with the signal strength needed to get through 65' but with a $20 signal booster adapter it works fine. This company Accell does make even a better cord with a signal booster built in but that cord is about $35 more and it might not be necessary. If a booster is needed you can get one for $20 (online) instead so it's a win-win. With this cord you know one part of the equation is solved and all you have to do is work on the second part which will most likely need nothing but to plugged in! There's nothing more frustrating than trying to figure out why you can't get a picture but its nice to know that if it doesn't work you know its not the HDMI cord. The reason I said it wasn't prefect in the beginning was because it won't transmit the weaker PS3 or Xbox360 signal 65' without an AC signal booster (if it did it would be prefect but no cord this long can do it). Oh and one more thing, this cord is rated by UL (Underwriters Laboratory) that's what really sold me because if you know who they are you will know that if they put their stamp of approval on it, it's a no brainer that it will work:) Hope this helped.

Mediabridge Ultra Series - High Speed HDMI Cable With Ethernet - Category 2 Certified - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - (15 Feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So far I have bought a total of four HDMI cables, in lengths ranging from 3' to 15'. I bought the 3' cable first. It was made by Philips and sold by the most gigantic of all gigantic discount Marts. It worked fine, and it would have been long enough except it was so stiff I could never straighten it out completely. I returned it.
I did some research on Amazon and found these Mediabridge cables with astounding user ratings and amazingly reasonable prices. Not the sub-dollar junk you can also find here, but less than one third the big-box price of the Philips cables in equivalent lengths. I bought two of the 6' cables to connect my two 1080p upconverting DVD players (a Sony 5-disc changer and a Philips region-free single-disc for playing foreign DVDs) to my wonderful (and cheap) AOC HDTV.
I was a little reluctant to buy 6' cables because I only really needed 3', and I know cable length can be tricky with very high-speed signals, but since the Philips 3' wasn't actually usable to that length, and I didn't want to have to return these, I ordered 6'. They work like a dream. They're as flexible as cooked spaghetti and transmit the signals without a single glitch.
Then I bought a new HP laptop with an HDMI output, but to work comfortably the cable had to be longer than 6'. I figured I'd go all the way and order the 15', since it's only marginally more expensive and would allow me to use the HDTV easily for watching streaming movies from Netflix. This cable also works like a dream.
My TV only has two HDMI inputs, so I do a fair amount of plugging and unplugging, with no signs of reliability problems so far. I highly recommend these Mediabridge HDMI cables--in any length--to anybody needing one.
I'm also very impressed with Mediabridge itself. Each cable comes very nicely packaged individually in a sturdy corrugated box, which is put into a larger box for shipping, and they ship quickly directly to the customer. What a relief not to have to saw through a hard plastic shell to get the product out! It's an impressive company. PLUS, they're an American company, and although I don't know if they manufacture the cables domestically, they're unafraid to print their New Jersey street address right on the box.

Fanatic Digital Imperial Series Gold-Plated HDMI Cable (6 feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The cables are very good and since they are flexible, they work very well with my entertainment center. The only problem is the cables extra wide because of the strain relief attached to the connector ends of the cable. Since the connectors are extra wide, I cannot attach these side by side on my HDMI video switch. My TV stacks the HDMI connectors instead of placing them side by side and these cables are fine when stacked. So if you have your HDMIs side by side, you may want to think twice when ordering, but if you have your HDMIs stacked, these cables are awesome.

(More customer reviews)This product is probably the best HDMI v1.3 for the money. I have also purchased one on ebay and it wasn't as good in the sense that the connection was loose and was too stiff of a cable to bend around my entertainment cabinet.

Mediabridge Ultra Series - High Speed HDMI Cable - Category 2 Certified - Supports 3D & Audio Return Channel - (15 Feet) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was originally just looking for a cheapo HDMI cable to tide me over until I could figure out which hideously expensive cable(s) to buy for my new Master BR PDP/Blu-ray combo. Based on reviews I read here on Amazon, I started with the 6' (w/o outer nylon braid) and was so impressed, I bought another 6-footer and the 15-footer shown here (both with the outer nylon braided jacket) for my new HT rig in the living room. The 15' cable is perfect for my install: PDP mounted over the fireplace and the Blu-ray located about 6' to the side (in order to clear the fireplace and the two adjacent flanking windows). I'm not sure I needed the "extra" protection of the outer cable jacket, but for an extra buck or two, I thought it looked cool, LOL! I was impressed that they're not only made here in NJ (Cherry Hill), but are of excellent quality. Each comes professionally packaged in an individual heavy-guage cardboard box, with the cable carefully coiled with ties and sealed in a plastic bag. Each connector has it's delicate gold-plated pins protected by hard plastic caps....a nice touch on a "cheapo" cable.
Bottom Line: An absolute steal in a HDMI v.1.3 (12-bit deep color support)cable! Picture quality is outstanding and no issues with video/audio "lip sync". FWIW, I'm using Mediabridge between a Pioneer BDP-51FD BonusView Blu-ray Player and Panasonic Viera TH-42PX80U 42-Inch 720p Plasma HDTV in the Master BR, and another Pioneer BDP-51FD and Pioneer PDP-5020FD 50-Inch 1080p KURO Plasma HDTV in the living room. The Pioneer Kuro, coupled with the companion BD player, are ruthlessly revealing of inferior video quality. The Mediabridge cable aquits itself admirably with this combo, with no visible loss of PQ with the 15' length (as compared with the 6' version). The cables even look nice, especially the braided ones. Save your money....Noel Lee at Monster Cable has enough mansions and yachts, LOL! Use the money you saved by not supporting AudioQuest, Monster, etc. on Blu-ray discs or whatever else that turns you on. All this from an admitted high-end cable junkie...I have lots of Monster, AQ, MIT, etc. cable for my hi-fi and (past) home theatre rigs.

HDMI 800hd Ultra-High Speed HDMI Cable - 6 m. length - 19.68 ft. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Monster has built its business on slick marketing. There's typically nothing wrong with the cables they sell, but there's nothing about them that justifies the exorbitant prices asked. The cable is not made in the U.S. It's made in China. And Monster do not provide certificates of performance for their cables. HDMI cables can be certified for Category 1 or Category 2 compliance, and the certification must be made at a specific cable length. Monster only states (without independent verification) that its cables achieve certain bandwidths (which they mislabel as "speed"), but these statements are completely meaningless without specifying the length of cable and without independent testing. The truth is, a 6 foot HDMI cable that costs $3 is going to provide the same reliable bandwidth transmission as a $100 Monster HDMI cable. And if you need a longer cable then you need specific certification of bandwidth at the length you use. For such purposes, you can get a 15 foot cable certified to maximum HDMI bandwidth (Category 2) for $35. And for the price that Monster wants for this 13 foot cable, you can get a cable certified to Category 2 bandwidth that is 40 feet long. If you want to educate yourself about the technical details of HDMI cables, check the white papers on HDMI at blue jeans cable.
