HDMI cable

[LCHIEN]

So I see. it is possible to make cables of the same high speed charateristics using different gauge wires and modifying the insulation properties as well. In that case the smaller gauge (higher number) will be more flexible usually, there may be some differences. You might aske the seller what he recommends.

It's not a power issue, there's no real power transmitted in the cable.

How long of a cable do you need? At most short lengths I would use the 28AWG. If you have a 1080p TV that needs a longer than maybe a 15 meter cable then you "maybe" could get return loss and attenuation from some cables. Or if you had equipment that could use the new HDMI 1.3 standard which has a bandwidth of 10+ gbsp instead of the now 5+ gbps then maybe you would have to compare longer cables. I've never had one of these cables apart but I have read that there is 19 wires in one, and the connector plug don't "lock" into its mating jack, so the plug is prone to falling out of the jack if disturbed. For this reason I would prefer a lighter cable. I'm still learning about HDMI, and at my age and with my eyesight anything looks great!

From the link. They have 24AWG and 28AWG.

Yea monoprice is what most people that are in the know use.

And no there is no difference between them as long as you get the right gauge to length you need. Kinda like power cords.

I'll need probably 15 ft or so (to be safe). It's going from the receiver in the Ent Center inside the wall, travel 7 ft or so out the wall to the TV.

I wouldn't hesitate to use the 28awg for 15 ft. If you were running it in a wall or cold air return at say a school, then you would have to meet code and use a cable rated for that, but at home nobody does. Go for it.
