30 ft HDMI TO HDMI 1.3a Certified Cable 24k Gold HDTV 30ft

High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is the first industry-supported, UNCOMPRESSED audio/video interface. This cable connects HDMI devices for DVD, satellite boxes, LCD, projectors, plasma and HDTVs. HDMI provides an interface between any HDMI-enabled audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor or projector.

HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

Customer Reviews

Great cable, except for one thing....

2008-07-15
It didn't work. I plugged the cable in, and... nothing. I tried different HDMI input, and still nothing. I finally found that I could sometimes make it work if I fiddled with it a bit while the DVD player was running, but if I turned the DVD player off and restarted it, the cable would go back to not working.

I tried a different cable to make sure this cable was the problem rather than the inputs on the TV and DVD players, and everything worked fine. This cable was definitely the problem.

a steal

2008-04-24
As I live overseas (APO) it is hard to find HDMI cables anywhere near this price (around 50$ for a 3-6 footer on average) these cables have allowed great picture on my projector and I have NO complaints.

A tricky price...

2008-03-21
I bought the cable because of the good reviews. Unfortunatley for me the cable didn't work. It looked very well to me, a very thick and well done cable, but didnt work, no image at all! also the connector could be easyly pulled out, somehow it didnt stayed in its place so I will have to buy a new one because I live in Mexico and shipping is so expensive, it isnt worth to return it. Bad product. Maybe its the first bad experience with this cable, but be aware.

one potential problem

2008-03-21
This is a great cable at a great price.

There is one problem that may potentially affect you though. The height of the HDMI connector is quite high (ie it is thick). Whereas many of these connectors are around 1/4 inch tall, this one is 7/8 inch. There is some a/v equipment out there that doesn't have enough room for this connector. My SONY LCD projector falls into this category.

What I ended up doing was to get a small (1 foot) m-f HDMI cable extender, and this ended up with a male plug small enough to fit into the projector connector.

This probably won't affect you, but measure your input connector area just in case.

Buy This Cable!!!, Don't waist money on others!!!

Deliverd to Canada this cable cost me less than $30.00. It works perfect.
Best buy Sells the comparable monster hdmi1000hd 10m hdmi cable for $399.99.

Unlike Analog signals, with an HDMI Digital, the signal either makes it to your equiptment, or it doesn't. there is not "weak" or "better" picture, plain and simple, it either works, or it does not, all or nothing, 1's and 0's, you get the point.

It Blows me away that companies like best buy can charge that much for a cable.

Great product at a great price

dont spend hundreds of dollars

2008-02-29
this cable works. no need to spend top dollar, see no difference in quality with this as i do my more expensive 6ft hdmi cables

Great cable, Great price, Great service!

2008-01-17
I bought my 25' HDMI from CableMart for less than a 6' cable would have cost from nearly ANY retail store (Walmart, Best Buy, etc...). CableMart had it to me long BEFORE the promised date (CableMart must have shipped within 24 hours of when I ordered for it to arrive so soon). They also were very responsive and helpful to an email question I had. Wish I could give Cablemart 6 stars for service!
(For the record, I am back from Baghdad - I haven't updated my profile yet)

Good quality cables

2008-01-08
These are great quality cables. I use two of these with a Sharp 32" LCD 1080P TV. Blu-ray looks great and regular cable HDTV is good. No need to buy expensive cables - these work fine and are a great deal for the $$.

25 feet of High Definition Value!

2008-01-01
Good cable for the money. Mine had the ferrite ends - becareful if you have tight clearances - they are molded into the cable and cannot be removed.
