How to use

Plug one HDMI Type A connector into the HDMI output of the source device (for example, a Blu-ray player, console or laptop) and the other connector into the HDMI input of the display device (television, monitor or projector). Ensure connectors are fully seated in the ports; most devices will automatically detect the connection and switch to the correct input. For best results, route the cable away from high-interference sources such as power transformers and unshielded large appliances.

Recommendations

For stable performance, avoid sharp bends and repeated tight kinks in the cable, and unplug by the connector housing rather than pulling the cable itself. If longer runs or higher bandwidth features are required, consider cables specified for higher transfer rates or active/optical HDMI variants suited to your equipment.
